Soul Days

(originally by Dobie Gray) Capo: 3rd fret Intro G C G C G [Verse 1] G I woke up feeling the sunshine Am Drift across my face Am It took me back to emotions Am From another time and place G Those yesterdays Em G Cruising in my Chevrolet D I held my baby in my arms C But my first love was always those songs Chorus G C I'm talkin' 'bout soul days G C G C G Talkin' about those sweet soul days [Verse 2] G I crawled out of bed real slowly Am Threw on some old blue jeans Am I found my favorite T-shirt Am And started rollin' up my sleeves G Like James Dean Em G Thinkin' I was still nineteen D I walked outside and looked around C My heart was pumping when I found Chorus G C It's gonna be a soul day C I laid back sunning G Sweet summer soul days Bridge Bm Think I'll take my baby for a ride Em Down to the back road C Out in the country C Where the summer winds blow Bm Over by the river Em There's a barbecue shack C Otis on the jukebox Em You know, I like it like that D Oh yeah Chorus G C Soul days C Dancin' with my baby G Swayin' to the sweet soul days Interlude G C G [Verse 3] G And when the sun goes down Am And we're on the road again Am Those white lines runnin' down the highway Am Slowly reelin' us in G With the radio on Em G Swinging to the sweet soul songs D And the music's playin' through the night C Takin' us back to when everything was alright Chorus G C Soul days G Talkin' about those sweet summer soul days C I'm talkin' 'bout soul days G C I'm going back to the sweet summer soul days Outro G Soul days G Soul days C I wanna hear some Wilson Pickett G And some Joe Tex C I wanna hear some Sam & Dave C Oh, listen here G Hey, Sam, I wanna hear some Aretha G I wanna hear some Ray Charles C And some soulful Sam Cooke now C What about that G I wanna hear some Arthur Conley C Well, what about Edwin Starr
