Working song sheet

Verse 1:
verse 1
[G]Down on the [C]guadelupe
[G]We stayed in a campground
And all the cabins shaped
Like letters in the sun
came with your family
And drove in from a nearby town
You came to spend a week
And came to have some fun
verse 2
all the fish looked up from
underneath the crystal water
sunlight flickered
off the beaded drops
upon your brow
the river's slow
the sun was hot
and I knew that I ought'a
go and introduce myself
before said beauty's found
Verse 4
we shot pool nearly every day
and I picked up the bill
your jelly shoes they sparkled
in the sun
used that jukebox
to tell me just how you really feel
I might have thought
you were the perfect one
verse 3
the day you left I nearly cried
I promised I would write you
leaving with a kiss
upon my cheek
I lost your numbers girl
that very afternoon
it's hard to keep your word
when you are only thirteen
