Yorktown Summer Circa ‘99: 5-6-2020
v.GG7CCm-GG7CCm-EmAEmA-F/C/D/G
b.DGDG-F /C/D/G

Ridin’ around
In Yorktown summer circa ‘99
Windows rolled down
Screaming every word to Pinkerton/Nevermind
There’s nowhere to go
We can drive and we can vote
On a cool night
We can cruise around 'neath the stars

Crash until noon
Think there’s a party later starts at 9
Bring your own booze
Listen to Trout mask replica
Some girl that Heather knows
Another girl singing angry folk songs
On a cool night
We can cruise around 'neath the stars

We go to the diner
But nobody there
We go to the coffee shop
But we don’t touch the stuff
We met these random kids
And end up lake swimming under the moon

We can think about reaching the stars
