VERSE 3:
[D#m] out on the road today, I saw a dead head sticker on a cadillac
[B] a voice inside my head said don't look back, you can never look back
[C#] I thought I knew what love was, what did I know
[B] those days are gone for ever, I should just let them go and
CHORUS 3:
[F#] But I can see you,
[C#] your brown skin shining in the sun
You got the top pulled down,
[B] radio on, baby
[F#] I can tell you my
[C#] love for you will still be strong
After the boys of
[B] summer have gone
CHORUS 4:
[F#] But I can see you,
[C#] your brown skin shining in the sun
You got that hair slicked back,
[B] those wayfarers on, baby

After the boys of
[B] summer have gone
