(Capo on 3)

Intro.:  |(D) |(G) | x 2

(D) Look at that worn out rusty (G)engine
(D) Sitting there begging for a (G)spark
Don't look like much in that con-(D)dition
But there was a time you should've (A)seen her run

(D) Down every back road in Lyle (G) County
(D) Under every streetlight up on (G) Main
You sitting there drumming on a (D)dashboard
Both of us falling like a (A)fickle rain

(Chorus)
(D)We were (C)cooler than December
(G)Hotter than July, young and (D) strong
Some things aren't (C)meant to last forever
But that (G)don't mean you forget 'em when they're (D)gone

Solo:  So come on |(D) |(C) |(G) |(D) |

(D) She had hair tangled as the (C)kudzu, legs as long as the trails
That (G)cut through those back acres to the river bend (D)
She had her daddy's temper and her momma's (C)flair, made people talk
But did not (G)care, try anything once ain't scared of (D)nothing

(Chorus)
Yeah, (D)we were (C)cooler than December
(G)Hotter than July, young and (D) strong
And some things aren't (C)meant to last forever
But that (G)don't mean you forget 'em when they're (D)gone

Solo:  So come on, |(D) come on,  |(C) |(G)don't mean you forget 'em |(D) |

(Bridge)
(G) I still ride down those old (A)roads
Even if it's in my (D)mind
Tight blue jeans and winding (Bm)curves
Keep me turning on a (G)dime, yeah, just like the (A) time ---

When (D)we were (C)cooler than December
(G)Hotter than July, young and (D) strong
Some things aren't (C)meant to last forever
But that (G)don't mean you forget 'em when they're (D7/C)gone

Oh, (D)we were (C)cooler than December,
(G)Hotter than July, young and (D) strong
Some things aren't (C)meant to last forever
But that (G)don't mean you forget 'em when they're

(Tag)
(C)Don't mean you for-(G)get 'em when they're (D)gone
So come on, (G) come on
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're (D)gone

So (D)come on, come on (G)
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're (D)gone
So come on, (G) come on, (D) so come on, come on -----
