• G

 

To open this song, hammer-on the G string (second fret A) 

Intro:  F/G - C6 - G - C6 x2 


         F/G                              C6 
I wore a black leather jacket way back in high school 
         F/G                                          C6 
And man, lookin back at these pictures of us, we were so cool 
         Am7 
You were so hot in your pink lipstick 
Em7 
Painted on the end of a lit cigarette 
      F/G                     G 
And I loved you girl, yeah, I loved you girl 


         C6                                 F/G 
And if I put it back on, I'm sixteen sittin next to you 
C6                                          F/G 
Down by the river you got the shivers, so I put it around you 
     Am7                              Em7                    F/G 
Were countin down the memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static 
F/G - Am7 - D7sus4 - C6       (Repeat 2x) 
Three polaroids, two young hearts, and one real cool, black, leather jacket 

NOTE: the last part of the Chorus is more like (just listen close, you'll hear it):

INTRO Progression x1 

verse 2: 

A little tattered and torn, it still keeps me warm on a Friday night 
Bandana patch from kickin some ass in a frat boy fight 
You wore it in the stands at the football games 
Some ink beneath the sleeve, I still wear your name 
And I loved you girl, yeah, I still love you girl 

Repeat Chorus 

Bridge: 

       Am7 
I know you grew up, I grew up, too 
    Em7 
You got two kids, hell, I got two kids, too 
F/G 
     ...Thank God they look like you 

And every night I put it back it on and I'm sixteen sittin next to you 
Down by the river if you get the shivers, Ill put it around you 
Were makin them memories in the moonlight and red wine, vinyl static 
Three words, two rings, and one real cool, black, leather jacket 

Well, there's nothin in the world makes me feel more alive 
When its just you and me and the moon is high 
I slip into the sleeves and with your hand in mine 
I go back to the night when I fell into your eyes 

Two kids just fallin in love 
And here we are right now, good heavens above 
Its only gettin better, baby 
Its only getting better, baby 
I just love that black, leather jacket
