How Forever Feels
By Kenny Chesney
Original transcription by Kcc20@aol.com
Corrections/changes by Mike Frazer (mfrazer@udel.edu)
NOTE: I've heard two different versions of this song - one with the
closings lines reading as they do here and one with them reading "Now I
know how forever feels" as was in the version originally transcribed.
Intro: Em C D, Em C D
G D C D G D C D
Big orange ball, sinkin' in the water.
G D C D G D C D
Toes in the sand, couldn't get much hotter.
Em C D G
Little umbrella shaped margaritas
Em C D
Coconut oil, tan senioritas
G D C D G D C D
Now I know how Jimmy Buffet feels.
(Same chords)
Hands on the wheel, cruisin' down the interstate
Gas pedal sticks, carries my car away
I was going fast as a Rambler goes
I could feel the speed from my head to my toes
Now I know how Richard Petty feels
CHORUS:
Em C D G
I've been around the block a time or two
Em C D G
Done almost everything a boy can do
Em C D G
I've done some livin', yeah I've had fun
Em C D
But there is one thing that I haven't done
(Same chords as first 2 verses)
Saved two months, bought a little diamond
Tonights the night, feels like perfect timin'
Down on one knee on momma's front steps,
Man Im gonna die if she really says yes
I wanna know how forever feels
(Chorus)
I wanna know how forever feels
Hey, I wanna know how forever feels
Girl, I wanna know how forever feels
