Acoustic Version
The intro and the parts between the chorus and verses are a little tricky or easy
depending on how you want to play it.
You can play it the real way with the (strumming pattern)where it goes:
D (DDUUDUUDU) G (DU) Em (DU)
or the easy way with just:
[D] [G] [D] [G]
I put the easy parts in for you,
but here's the rest of the song:
I was [D]Ringo Starr of the d[G]ashboard drummers,
[D]You were turning up the r[G]adio.
[D]Sitting in the middle, [G]playing the fiddle,
You were hot[D]ter than a summer back [G]road.
And it's c[Em]razy how I remember that [G]perfectly
When we [D]set sail away in a white[G] Chevrolet
With a [D]Jerry jet sticker on the [G]glass.
We cut [D]through the night like th[G]e KC lights
Knowing[D] summertime wasn't gonna [G]last
And we [Em]swore that wouldn't ma[G]tter
And we[Em]'ll stay like that tog[G]ether
But we're [Em]not, cause we're[G] not 19 f[D]orever.
[D]( [G]Ta[D]b [G]from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/granger_smith/19_forever_crd.html )
I rem[D]ember the time you asked [G]me for a ride,
If [D]I could teach you how to drive [G]stick.
You [D]burned through the clutch and [G]I burned to touch
Every [D]tan line wrappin' your s[G]kin.
And [Em]I still see every [G]memory.
When we [D]set sail away in a white[G] Chevrolet
With a [D]Jerry jet sticker on the [G]glass.
We cut [D]through the night like th[G]e KC lights
Knowing[D] summertime wasn't gonna [G]last
And we [Em]swore that wouldn't ma[G]tter
And we[Em]'ll stay like that tog[G]ether
But we're [Em]not, no we're[G] not 19 f[D]orever.
And I still [D]sing along
With all those [Bm]old songs
[D]Well, I [Em]know it's [G]wrong, I [Em]know it's [G]wrong,
I [D]know it's [G]wrong.
I gotta mo[D]ve on.
