(Repeat x7)
A          F#m
I said wouldn't it be nice
Bm             D   E
Give me a mountain paradise
A                         F#m
We'll leave the sheets out in the rain
    Bm                 D    E
And listen to that lonesome train
A                   F#m
summer slowly turns to fall
B                D        E
Tomatoes ripe we eat them all
A            F#m
Tangly vines around our shoes
Bm              D        E
We conquer everything we do

A            F#m
One seatbelt around us two
        Bm
Windows rolled down
     D          E
70's sounds and doo-wop tunes
A                    F#m
Shown the secrets of metal
                  Bm
By your accordion friend
                   D            E
Now you might just learn how to shred
A                    F#m
The pictures made us change our view
Bm                           D      E
We sleep on blankets in the living room
A                   F#m
It's our work, we're so involved
Bm                            D      E
Sorry we turned the phone off if you called



A                          F#m
Meet me at the back-shack, baby
Bm                D      E
You'll bring your little ukelele
A                F#m
Oh take up reel! make it all right
Bm                       D       E
Let's make a song on the 8-track tonight


A           F#m
Pack up the patch cords
     Bm          D    E    
Look back on the last one
A                   F#m
In the beginning we made up rules
   Bm                     D           E
We thought we'd jam first thing every morning
A                     F#m
But we let some goals slip to the side
Bm                         D      E
Sleeping late, letting our bodies decide
A                   F#m
Now we'll head back home
Bm                          D   E
oh! september where did you go


A                          F#m
Meet me at the back-shack, baby
Bm                D      E
You'll bring your little ukelele
A                F#m
Oh take up reel! make it all right
Bm                       D       E
Let's make a song on the 8-track tonight

Meet me at the back-shack, baby 
(Repeat x11)
