John Mellencamp, también conocido como John Cougar o John Cougar Mellencamp, (nacido el 7 Octubre de 1951) es un autor e interprete de Rock Americano. Empezó llamándose John Cougar, nombre que cambió posteriormente a Cougar Mellencamp para acabar definitivamente con sólo Mellencamp.
John Mellencamp comenzó su carrera a finales de los 70 (de 1976 es su primer disco, que resultó un fracaso comercial); su popularidad se fue acrecentando aprovechando el tirón de la música de Bruce Springsteen

[Intro] GAmGAmGAmGAm
[Verse 1] GAm Well, I lived on the outskirts of town GAm In an eight room farm-house, baby GAm When my brothers and friends were around GAm There was always something doin’ EmBm Had me a couple of real nice girlfriends AmC Stopped by to see me once in a while EmBm When I think back a-bout those days AmCG All I can do is sit and smile
[Chorus] GAm That’s when a sport was a sport GAm And groovin’ was groovin’ GAm And dancin’ meant everything GAm We were young and we were improvin’ GAm Laughin’, laughin’, with our friends GAm Holdin’ hands meant somethin’, baby GAm Outside the club Cherry Bomb, GAm Our hearts were really thumpin’, AmGAm / C/D / Am (quickly) Say yeah, yeah, yeah (no chord) G Am Say yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2] The winter days they last forever But the weekends went by so quick Went ridin’ around this little country town We were goin’ nuts girl, out in the sticks One night, me with my big mouth A couple guys had to put me in my place When I see those guys these days We just laugh and say, Do you remember when?
[Chorus] GAm That’s when a sport was a sport GAm And groovin’ was groovin’ GAm And dancin’ meant everything GAm We were young and we were improvin’ GAm Laughin’, laughin’, with our friends GAm Holdin’ hands meant somethin’, baby GAm Outside the club Cherry Bomb, GAm Our hearts were really thumpin’, AmGAm / C/D / Am (quickly) Say yeah, yeah, yeah (no chord) G Am Say yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3] Now, seventeen has turned thirty-five I’m surprised that we’re still livin’ If we’ve done any wrong I hope that we’re forgiven Got a few kids of my own And some days I still don’t know what to do I hope that they’re not laughin’ too loud When they hear me talkin’ like this to you
[Chorus] GAm That’s when a sport was a sport GAm And groovin’ was groovin’ GAm And dancin’ meant everything GAm We were young and we were improvin’ GAm Laughin’, laughin’, with our friends GAm Holdin’ hands meant somethin’, baby GAm Outside the club Cherry Bomb, GAm Our hearts were really thumpin’, AmGAm / C/D / Am (quickly) Say yeah, yeah, yeah (no chord) G Am Say yeah, yeah, yeah -----
