[F#m] [E] Bobby Goldsborough now, with the hairstyle [B] that inspired the Playmobil [F#m] figures.

[A] [E]
[B] [F#m] [F#]
[B] [A] I was just walking by [E] when I looked in her eye
[B] And I [F#m] swore it was Lincoln
[F#]
[C#] [D] She was 31 and I [Bm] was 17
[C#m] I knew nothing about love, she [F#m] knew everything
But I sat down beside her on [Bm] her front porch swing
[C#] And wondered what a woman that would [F#] be
[B] [F#m] [C#]
[F#] [B] [A] The sun closed her eyes [B] as it climbed in the skies
And it started to [F#m] swelter
[B] The [A] sweat trickled down [E] the front of her gown
[B] And I thought it would [F#m] melt her
[B] [A] She threw back her hair [B] like I wasn't [E] there
And she sipped on a [F#m] Juulier
[B] Her [F#m]
shoulders were bare [B] and I tried not to stare
When I looked at her two limbs
[D] And when she looked at me I [Bm] heard her softly say
[C#m] I know you're young, you don't know what to [F#m] do or say
[D] But stay with me [Bm] until the sun has gone away
[C#] And I will chase the boy in [F#m] you away
[B] [F#m]
[C#] [B] [F#]
[F#m] And then she smiled, [D] then we talked for a while
[C#m] Then we walked for a mile to [F#] the sea
[D] We sat on the sand [F#m] and a boy took her hand
[C#m] But I saw the sun rise as it [F#] met
[D] [Bm]
[C#m] [F#m]
[Bm]
[C#] [B]
[F#]
[B] [F#] Ten years had gone by [E] since I looked in her eye
[B] But the memory lingered
I [F#] go back in my mind [E] to the very first time
[B] And feel the touch of a finger
It [B] was a hot afternoon, [E] the last day of June
And the sun [B] was a demon
Clouds were afraid, one tan in the shade
And the pavement was steaming
On a set that proves
