		   Title: Cherry Bomb - John Mellencamp
From album: The Lonesome Jubilee

Intro:  G   Am   G   Am   G   Am   G   Am

Verse1:
G                    Am
Well, I lived on the outskirts of town
G                Am
In an eight room farm-house, baby
G                    Am
When my brothers and friends were around
G                Am
There was always something doin�
Em                      Bm
Had me a couple of real nice girlfriends
Am                   C
Stopped by to see me once in a while
Em                  Bm
When I think back a-bout those days
Am              C                G
All I can do is sit and smile

Chorus:
G             Am
That�s when a sport was a sport
G                Am
And groovin� was groovin�
G                 Am
And dancin� meant everything
G                 Am
We were young and we were improvin�
G                   Am
Laughin�, laughin�, with our friends
G                   Am
Holdin� hands meant somethin�, baby
G                 Am
Outside the club Cherry Bomb,
G               Am
Our hearts were really thumpin�,
Am            G       Am/Am-/Am (quickly)
Say yeah, yeah, yeah
(no chord)           G Am
Say yeah, yeah, yeah

Verse2:
The winter days they last forever
But the weekends went by so quick
Went ridin� around this little country town
We were goin� nuts girl, out in the sticks
One night, me with my big mouth
A couple guys had to put me in my place
When I see those guys these days
We just laugh and say, C you remember when?

Repeat chorus

1/2 length intrumental chorus

Verse3:
Now, seventeen has turned thirty-five
I�m surprised that we�re still livin�
If we�ve done any wrong
I hope that we�re forgiven
Got a few kids of my own
And some days I still don�t know what to do
I hope that they�re not laughin� too loud
When they hear me talkin� like this to you

Repeat chorus
