LANCO - First Beer

[Intro]
C G Em D
C G Em D C

[Verse 1]
C G
It was 21-something
Em D
But I don’t really remember the score
C G
I called the final state that year
Em D
Don’t think about it much anymore
C G
My buddy’s telephone number
Em D
Ended in something like 485
C G
We lost touch after high school
Em D
But I don’t really remember why

[Pre-chorus]
C
As the years go by
D
And memories fade
C
There’s a night in July
D
That always stays

[Chorus]
C
‘Cause I remember my first beer
G
It was a bittersweet taste
Em
But I had a straight face
D C
I raised it up and I said cheers
G
Like a scene in the movies
Em
Doing something to me
D C
My memory is crystal-clear
G
They went down pretty smooth
Em
But if you wanna know the truth
D C
Yeah, I remember my first beer
G Em
‘Cause I drank it, yeah I drank it
D C G Em D
I drank it with you—you-you ooh ooh you

[Verse 2]
C G
Just a blanket in a patch of grass
Em D
Underneath the southern sky
C G
Your lips were on the bottle
Em D
But I was wishing that they were all mine

[Pre-chorus]
C
Wasn’t my first kiss
D
It was my first buzz
C
Was I getting drunk
D
Or just drunk in love?

[Chorus]
C
‘Cause I remember my first beer
G
It was a bittersweet taste
Em
But I had a straight face
D C
I raised it up and I said cheers
G
Like a scene in the movies
Em
Doing something to me
D C
My memory is crystal-clear
G
They went down pretty smooth
Em
But if you wanna know the truth
D C
Yeah, I remember my first beer
G Em
‘Cause I drank it, yeah I drank it
D C G Em D
I drank it with you—you-you ooh ooh you
