*if you can get the above, you can surely make up a similar picking pattern for the C and Em progressions which are next.

VERSE 1:

Asus2              G

I was loud and a little sad.

D/Dsus2                D/Dsus4

She was visiting from Atlanta, Georgia.

Asus2                      G

She had come to spend the summer with her dad.

D/Dsus2           D/Dsus4

I thought she was very pretty.

C                      Em

We would kiss and hold hands

C                  Em

Every night by the football field.

C             Em

Her body was tan

D/Dsus2

From the afternoons by the public swimming pool.

CHORUS: (strum these chords)

Asus2          G

Sweet evening breeze

Asus2           G

Blows around my thoughts and memories.

Asus2

As I lie here today

G

And drink my tea,

D                Dsus4  D

I can still see

Asus2 / G / Asus2 / G / Asus2 / G / Asus2 / G

Sweet evening breeze.

VERSE 2:

Asus2           G

I saw her in a coffee shop

D/Dsus2                D/Dsus4

In a big hotel down in Austin, Texas.

Asus2           G

She had cut her long hair off

D/Dsus2

And replaced it with

G    D  G     D

Blue eyes of sad - ness.

C                        Em

Still acted like we were kids C                        *Fill* And she told me that she had to marry

C                     Em

And she asked me if I did

D/Dsus2

Still remember.

CHORUS

VERSE 3:

Asus2              G

How redundant the future can be.

D/Dsus2         D/Dsus4

These days of old are very, very

Asus2          G

Ridiculous for me to see

D/Dsus2         G    D    G       D

When I think about the real gone stor - ies

C                              Em

And how time holds the winning hand. C                 *Fill* I can tell by the lines on our faces

C                        Em

And the young can't understand

D/Dsus2

That they look at me When they look at themselves.
