G C
Three or four miles down a red dirt road
Am7 D G C Am7 D
An' a green-eyed girl an' I used to go to see her-----
G C
I'd pull up the drive an' she'd jump in
Am7 D G C Am7 D
An' we'd head off down around the bend to the river----
G C
Find a perfect spot an' throw a blanket on the ground
Am7 D G C Am7 D
Sit there talkin', till the sun went down-- about nothin
C G/B Am7 G/B
Then one hot day in June,
C G/B Am7 G/B
The clouds rolled in right out of the blue.

As we ran for cover, I could smell her perfume, in that...

Sweet summer rain
G C
We were jumpin' an' a-runnin' an' a-laughin' out loud.
Am7 D G C Am7 D
The sky opened up like the bottom fell out of Heaven, yeah.
G C
We dove in the car, turned the radio on,
Am7 D G C Am7 D
Sat there soakin', singing along with Elton, Bennie And The Jets.
C G/B Am7 G/B
She turned an' looked my way,
C G/B Am7 G/B
Those raindrops slowly runnin' down on her face.
C G/B Am D
I reached out an' kissed her, well I remember the taste, of that..
