Subject: Cherry Bomb by John Mellencamp
Title: Cherry Bomb - John Mellencamp
>From album: The Lonesome Jubilee
Intro: G Am G Am G Am G Am
Verse1:
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 once in a while
Em Bm
When I think back a-bout those days
Am C G
All I can do is sit and smile
Chorus:
G Am
That’s when a sport was a sport
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’,
Am G Am/Am-/Am (quickly)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
(no chord) G Am
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
Verse2:
The winter days they last forever
But the weekends went by so quick
Went ridin’ around this little country town
We were goin’ nuts girl, out in the sticks
One night, me with my big mouth
A couple guys had to put me in my place
When I see those guys these days
We just laugh and say, Do you remember when?
Repeat chorus
1/2 length intrumental chorus
Verse3:
Now, seventeen has turned thirty-five
I’m surprised that we’re still livin’
If we’ve done any wrong
I hope that we’re forgiven
Got a few kids of my own
And some days I still don’t know what to do
I hope that they’re not laughin’ too loud
When they hear me talkin’ like this to you
Repeat chorus
