A F#m
I said wouldn't it be nice
Bm D E
Give me a mountain paradise
A F#m
We'll leave the sheets out in the rain
Bm D E
And listen to that lonesome train
A F#m
summer slowly turns to fall
B D E
Tomatoes ripe we eat them all
A F#m
Tangly vines around our shoes
Bm D E
We conquer everything we do

A F#m
One seatbelt around us two
Bm
Windows rolled down
D E
70's sounds and doo-wop tunes
A F#m
Shown the secrets of metal
Bm
By your accordion friend
D E
Now you might just learn how to shred
A F#m
The pictures made us change our view
Bm D E
We sleep on blankets in the living room
A F#m
It's our work, we're so involved
Bm D E
Sorry we turned the phone off if you called
A F#m
Meet me at the back-shack, baby
Bm D E
You'll bring your little ukelele
A F#m
Oh take up reel! make it all right
Bm D E
Let's make a song on the 8-track tonight
A F#m
Pack up the patch cords
Bm D E
Look back on the last one
A F#m
In the beginning we made up rules
Bm D E
We thought we'd jam first thing every morning
A F#m
But we let some goals slip to the side
Bm D E
Sleeping late, letting our bodies decide
A F#m
Now we'll head back home
Bm D E
oh! september where did you go
A F#m
Meet me at the back-shack, baby
Bm D E
You'll bring your little ukelele
A F#m
Oh take up reel! make it all right
Bm D E
Let's make a song on the 8-track tonight
