Back in Whitefish Bay
Capo 2
Intro: D A G A D
D A
You and I were walking through town
G A D
It was a snowy night in 1971
D A
A couple of days before Christmas
G A D
I knew it was time to run.
D A
So off we went through the streets
G A D
Passing all kinds of Christmas lights
D A
Running through the ice and snow
G A D
It just was the perfect night.
Chorus
A D
Back in Whitefish Bay
A D
The town just had a way
A D
Of making things okay
G A D
Back in Whitefish Bay
INSTRUMENTAL: D A G A D D A G A D
D A
You and I were walking through town
G A D
It was a summer night in 1972
D A
School had just let out
G A D
Time for me to head out of town.
D A
I knew that I’d see you again
G A D
When I came back another day
D A
It might not be til Christmas time
G A D
And those lights would be shinin’ away
Chorus

Back in Whitefish Bay
A D
The town just had a way

Of making things okay
G A D
Back in Whitefish Bay
