"Sweet Evening Breeze"
by John Mellencamp
This a lesser-known tune off the "Human Wheels" album, but a fun one to
play acoustic. It oscillates between meditative picking and exciting
strumming. Notice my naming conventions with D/Dsus2 and D/Dsus4 below.
Enjoy.
INTRO: (Asus2)
VERSE: (Asus2,G,D (&Dsus4))
From the afternoons by the public swimming pool.
CHORUS: (strum these chords)
Sweet evening breeze
Blows around my thoughts and memories.
As I lie here today
And drink my tea,
I can still see
Sweet evening breeze.
VERSE 2:
I saw her in a coffee shop
sus2 sus4
In a big hotel down in Austin, Texas.
She had cut her long hair off
sus2
And replaced it with
Blue eyes of sad - ness.
Still acted like we were kids
C *Fill*
And she told me that she had to marry
And she asked me if I did
sus2
Still remember.
VERSE 3:
How redundant the future can be.
sus2 sus4
These days of old are very, very
Ridiculous for me to see
sus2
When I think about the real gone stor - ies
And how time holds the winning hand.
C *Fill*
I can tell by the lines on our faces
And the young can't understand
sus2
That they look at me
When they look at themselves.
