Verse 1
G               C    G               D
 Hey where did we go, days when the rains came
G             C     G           D
 Down in the hollow, playin' a new game
G                C              G                 D
 Laughing and a running hey, hey, skipping and a jumping
G              C              G     D
 In the misty morning fog with our hearts a thumpin'

      C  D               G  Em  C      D            G    D

G          C           G               D
 Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow
G               C            G              D
 Going down the old mine with a transistor radio
G                 C                G                 D
 Standing in the sunlight laughing, hiding behind a rainbow's wall
G               C    G               D
 Slipping and sliding all along the waterfall
                          (fill 1)
       C  D               G  Em  C      D            G
 With you, my brown eyed girl,    you my brown eyed girl
 
Chorus
D
 Do you remember when we used to sing,

 Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da         (fill 3)
G           C           G              D         G
 Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da

Verse 2
G            C         G             D
 So hard to find my way now that I'm all on my own
G           C                G                   D
 I saw you just the other day, my how you have grown
G                C               G             D
 Cast my memory back there, Lord, sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout 
G                     C        G             D
 Making love in the green grass behind the stadium

       C  D               G  Em  C      D            G

All throughout this song there are melodic parts made up of arpeggiated chords, 6th double stops and single string melodies. I included the hook in the intro and at the request of a friend, a few fills tabbed at the end of the song. They are not played exactly the same every time but will point anyone interested in the right direction. Good luck!
