[Intro]
G Am G Am x2
[Verse 1]
G Am Well, I lived on the outskirts of town G Am In an eight room farm-house, baby G Am When my brothers and friends were around G Am There was always something doin’ Em Bm Had me a couple of real nice girlfriends Am C Stopped by to see me every once in a while Em Bm When I think back a-bout those days Am C All I can do is sit and smile
[Chorus]
G Am That’s when a smoke was a smoke G Am And groovin’ was groovin’ G Am And dancin’ meant everything G Am We were young and we were improvin’ G Am Laughin’, laughin’, with our friends G Am Holdin’ hands meant somethin’, baby G Am Outside the club Cherry Bomb, G Am Our hearts were really thumpin’, G Am Say yeah, yeah, yeah G Am G Am Say yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
G Am The winter days they last forever G Am But the weekends went by so quick G Am Went ridin’ around this little country town G Am We were goin’ nuts girl, out in the sticks Em Bm One night, me with my big mouth Am C A couple guys had to put me in my place Em Bm When I see those guys these days Am C We just laugh and say, Do you remember when?
[Chorus]
G Am That’s when a smoke was a smoke G Am And groovin’ was groovin’ G Am And dancin’ meant everything G Am We were young and we were improvin’ G Am Laughin’, laughin’, with our friends G Am Holdin’ hands meant somethin’, baby G Am Outside the club Cherry Bomb, G Am Our hearts were really thumpin’, G Am Say yeah, yeah, yeah G Am G Am G Am Say yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
G Am Now, seventeen has turned thirty-five G Am I’m surprised that we’re still livin’ G Am If we’ve done any wrong G Am I hope that we’re forgiven Em Bm Got a few kids of my own Am C And some days I still don’t know what to do Em Bm I hope that they’re not laughin’ too loud Am C When they hear me talkin’ like this to you
[Chorus]
G Am That’s when a smoke was a smoke G Am And groovin’ was groovin’ G Am And dancin’ meant everything G Am We were young and we were improvin’ G Am Laughin’, laughin’, with our friends G Am Holdin’ hands meant so much baby G Am Outside the club Cherry Bomb, G Am Our hearts were really pumpin’, G Am Say yeah, yeah, yeah G Am Say yeah, yeah, yeah
