[Verse 1]
[G]Well,
the [C]hillbillies taught me how to [G]play guitar
City [D]slickers taught me how to [G]be a star
I don't have [C]either of them
[G]down good yet
So I'm [D]going to the lake
where I [C]first got [G]wet
Yeah, I'm [D]goin' to the lake
where I [C]first got [G]wet
You had tough luck chasin'
low -down guys
You [D]started out sour,
now you're [G]pasteurized
You got the [C]same pretty mouth
with a [G]wiser tongue
I got [D]radar ears, I can listen to some
I got radar ears, I can [C]listen to you [G]some
And I'm [D]not gonna push it,
I don't wanna press
I'm [C]not gonna put you
through some kinda test
[D]I'm not lookin' for luster,
makin' up lies
But I [C]just wanna meet you
by the silver lake [G]side[C][G]
I remember sum[C]mertime
[G]boys' camps,
blankets and trunks
I [D]dreamed I had a stripper
in my [G]upstairs bunk
I had a dirty kid in mind,
that's how I got through
I could [D]never love a stripper
like the [C]way I loved [G]you
I could [D]never love a stripper
like the [C]way I loved [G]you
I wished I had more heart,
I wished I stayed out of bars
And I [D]wished I had a big shot
to [G]sign my guitars
But a [C]big shot's name is a
[G]paint -thin scrawl
Couldn't [D]play it anymore,
I'd have to [C]hang it on the wall
[D]Couldn't play it anymore,
I'd have to [C]hang it on the [G]wall
And I'm [D]not [F#dim]gonna push you,
I don't wanna press
I'm [C]not gonna put
you through some [G]kind of test
I'm not [D]looking for luster,
making up lies
But I [C]just wanna meet you
by the silver [G]Lakeside[Em][C]
[Em]
[A][C]
[D][G][C][D]
[G][C][G]
The weather was dry [C]and
the [G]whiskey was good
And bad [D]luck you up chucked it
like I [G]knew you would
I said God give me home
I won't do this again
I said I [F#dim]won't be your preach[D]er
but I [C]will be your friend
[G]When your [D]mama finds you like this
you're [C]sure gonna need a [G]friend
We're [C]all looking for something
if it isn't [G]too much
Some are [D]looking to tell
[F#dim]and some are looki[G]ng to touch
There's a [C]right time to [G]talk
and a wrong way to rub
If [F#dim]I'm looking for something,
it must [C]be your love
[G]If I'm [D]looking for something,
it must [C]be for your [G]love[C][G]
And now the [C]lake looks muddy,
it's supposed [G]to be silver
I got stood [F#dim]up on the banks,
but I [G]got to remember
Everything [C]in this world's
got [G]two or more sides
Like a [D]woman, like a river,
like a [C]Ferris wheel ride
[G]Like a wo [D]man, like a river,
like a ferris [C]wheel [G]ride
Come on down to the silver lake [Em]now
We [D]got more to do than the
[G]night will allow
You can [C]stick your toes in the [G]milky sand
[D]We can rest our hearts where it [C]all began
[G]We can [D]rest our hearts
where it [C]all [G]began[C]
[G]And I'm not[D] gonna push you,
don't wanna press
I'm [C]not gonna put you
through some [G]kind of test
Not look[D]in' [F#dim]for lust or makin' up lies
[D]But I jus[C]t wanna meet you
by the silver lake [G]side[Em][C]
