Same holds for the D, Asus4/C, Asus4/B, Asus4 progression which is based on a D. Intro: G7 G6 G(no B) G (4x) G A little creek you could spit across C Jimmy and me each took one more toss Em our spinners bright in the evening air D Asus4/C Asus4/B Asus4 People always said, there ain't no fish in there G Well grownups they ain't always right C Jimmy and me walked home slow that night Em right down Main Street in our P.F. Fliers D Asus4/C Asus4/B Asus4 with two 5 lb. bass making grown men liars G7 G6 G(no B) G (repeat...) Jimmy if I had known-- C I might have stopped fishing right then Em It's just as well we don't know when things D Asus4/C Asus4/B Asus4 will never be that good again ...to Intro... A hayride on an Autumn night Well we was 15 if I remember right We were far apart at the start of the ride but somehow we ended up side by side We hit a bump and she grabbed my arm The night was as cold as her lips were warm I shivered as her hand held mine And then I kissed her one more time And Jane if I had known-- I might have stopped kissing right then It's just as well we don't know when things will never be that good again She was older than me I guess Summer was invented for her to wear that dress I knew about risk and she knew about proof and that night she took me up on the roof We could see the lights of the little towns We could watch the August stars come down Shooting stars, meteorites-- we went on a ride through the sky that night And, oh, if I had known-- I'd do it all over again Some things just get better and better and better than they've already been ----------- Submitted by Bob Steidl
