[Verse 1]
     D              Em                  
At a little canteen south of the border
G
 Bartender messed up an order
D             Em                G
She got my jose, I got her wine, I said I’ll buy 'em both this time
       D             Em                         G
If you dance with me in this blue moonlight and that turned into the rest of the night
     D                    Em               G
Like shells in the waves, she swept me away and for a minute we had it made


[Pre-Chorus]
Bm             A            
  Sunrise came way too fast
G
 She had a stateside plane to catch
      Bm                           A                G
And I still don’t know where those silver wings took her


[Chorus]
             D      Em              
Her name was sugar, she taste so sweet
G
 In with the tide and out with the breeze
D           Em
 Kinda high makes you weak in the knees
G
Right down to your soul
                  D                Em                        G
She’s a d**n good looker, with her bleach blonde hair, those ocean eyes could be anywhere
         D            Em         G
But it’s lookin’ like I’ll never know
              D      Em              G
Mmm, and that memory still comes and goes
                D     Em     G
Oh her name was sugar    (So sweet)


[Verse 2]
       D                Em
By the end of the night my phone had died
          G
She either wrote it down wrong or straight up lied
       D                Em           G
Either way that was our first and only time
      D            Em
And I wonder where she went back home to
G
 Is she with someone or all alone too
D         Em              G
All I got to go on’s this one clue


[Chorus] 
                 D      Em              
Oh, her name was sugar, she taste so sweet
G
 In with the tide and out with the breeze
D           Em
 Kinda high makes you weak in the knees
G
Right down to your soul
                  D                Em                        G
She’s a d**n good looker, with her bleach blonde hair, those ocean eyes could be anywhere
         D            Em         G
But it’s lookin’ like I’ll never know
              D      Em              G
Mmm, and that memory still comes and goes
                D     Em     G
Oh her name was sugar    (So sweet)


[Post-Chorus]
D  Em     G    
      (So sweet)


[Verse 3]
D      Em                    G
 Maybe I’ll fly back for the h**l of it
                            D
Find that barstool and just settle in
     Em                  G
That red one right there at the end
    G
Get drunk and pray she walks in again


[Chorus]
D     Em
Sugar, sweet like it sounds
G
Salt life t-shirt laying on the ground
  D            Em                 G
I ain’t forgot that pink flamingo tattoo way on down
                  D                Em                        G
She’s a d**n good looker, with her bleach blonde hair, those ocean eyes could be anywhere
         D            Em         G
But it’s lookin’ like I’ll never know
         D      Em              G
Mmm, and that memory still comes and goes
                D     Em     G
Oh her name was sugar    (So sweet)


[Outro]
             D      Em      G
Her name was sugar,     (so sweet)
             D      Em      G
Her name was sugar
