 C
John and I worked at the Chinese restaurant

         F
Washin' dishes and drivin' the truck

      Dm
We’d listen to Sabbath so loud folks complained

        G
In the back we never gave a fuck

            F
We’d drive down to the river with catpoles and livers

 C                      Am
Tallboy High Lifes and cigs

 F
John’d roll a doobie and we’d talk about movies

     G
And dream of makin' it big
[Chorus]
         F
On them summer nights

          Dm
Under the big star light

 F       G
Dreamin'

         C    C
Over my head
[Verse]
 C
John had a Nissan we’d strap a canoe on

     F
And drive it on down to the stream

      Dm                                              G
We’d paddle around and then pull into town just to see
What we could see
      F
We’d hang out and talk a lot out in the parking lots

 C                      Am
John met her under the lights

           F
They went steady through winter November, December

     G
And made it through spring alright
[Chorus]
          F
Into the summer nights

          Dm
Under the big star light

 F       G
Dreamin'

          C
Over our heads
[Verse]
 C
John and his lady broke up for some shady shit

     F
She left him one night after shoutin'

Dm
You never loved me but we figured he must

         G
When he drove his old truck off the mountain

    F
Now I can’t go fishin' without kinda wishin'

      C                 Am
That John was there to talk

    F
He left us in wonder and stole all our thunder

      G
I’ll never get over the shock
[Outro]
         F
Of them summer nights

          Dm
Under the big star light

 F       G
Dreamin'

         C
Over my head

         F
Of them summer nights

          Dm
Under the big star light

 F       G
Dreamin'

                  C
If it were me instead
