Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Bare feet hangin' off a tire swing
Cotton dress barely hanging onto me
Setting sun cooling down the august heat
Sweet magnolia in the air
Lazy old river just floatin' by
That boy was giving me the eye
River bank wasn't quite dry
Standin' at the water's edge he said look 'em over here
I felt it moving underneath my toes
Soakin' in all over my clothes
We were laughing when he pulled me close
And my heart went thump, thump, thump
He had a little bit on his lips
When he gave me that first kiss
But it was perfect just the way it was
Back then, me and him, big grins covered in that Georgia mud
Think it took a good two days
To wash all that dirt away
Another two years to forget his face
He looked faded like a movie but every now and then I'd still
Feel it moving underneath my toes
Soakin' in all over my clothes
We were laughing when he pulled me close
And my heart went thump,thump, thump
He had a little bit on his lips when he gave me that first kiss
It was perfect just the way it was
Back then, me and him, big grins covered in that Georgia mud
Instrumental
I felt it moving underneath my toes
Soakin' in all over my clothes
Well it was hard to take it slow
When my heart went thump, thump, thump
He had a little bit on his lips
I gotta say I didn't mind a bit
It was perfect just the way it was
Back then me and him big grins
Back then, me and him, big grins covered in that Georgia mud
