[Intro]
 G/  D/   C   D/ G  
[Verse 1]
GStuck on limbo bridge
Where Dbelow me ol' Nick grins
Then lCaughs through the chaos of it Gall
GGets up off his chair
Spins a Djig to my despair
He can't Cwait to count Dthe timGes where I went wrong
GUnderneath the bush
Lay a Dbeggar out of luck
On his Clips was a taste he Gforgets
His Ghopes are filled with sand
That he Dwatched fall through his hand
Every Cgrain was a Dlifetime of Gregret
[Chorus]
So go and Dbow yoGur head and weep
For youCr world Dwon't chGange while you sleep
DYeah, go aGnd bow your head and weep
For the CsumDmer thaEmt was lost, now is gone
CYeah, DtGhe summer that was lost, now is gone
[Verse 2]
GFertile Mrs. Moore
Had thDirteen kids but still looked good
'Til heCr ol' man jumped leaGve on a ship
She Gnever read a book
But by CDhrist she understood
That the Cmeanin' of Dlife starts in Gbed
[Chorus]
[Solo]
 D/  G/   C   D/   G(x2)
[Verse 3]
GKiller Kilbain
Beat me Dsenseless every day
I hope that Cbastard is beneath a head of Gstone
Where I'll Gdance upon his grave
For all the Dmadness I now crave
While the Cscars that Dremain are still a Gcurse
GStuck on limbo bridge
Where Dbelow me ol' Nick grins
Then lCaughs through the chaos of it Gall
GGets up off his chair
Spins a Djig to my despair
He can't Cwait to count Dthe timGes where I went wrong

[Last Chorus]
DSo go and boGw your head and weep
For your wCorld won'Dt change Gwhile you sleep

[Intro]

G D C D G

/ / /

[Verse 1]

Stuck on limbo bridge

Where below me ol' Nick grins

C G

Then laughs through the chaos of it all

Gets up off his chair

Spins a jig to my despair

C D G

He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong

Underneath the bush

Lay a beggar out of luck

C G

On his lips was a taste he forgets

His hopes are filled with sand

That he watched fall through his hand

C D G

Every grain was a lifetime of regret

[Chorus]

D G

So go and bow your head and weep

C D G

For your world won't change while you sleep

D G

Yeah, go and bow your head and weep

C D Em

For the summer that was lost, now is gone

C D G

Yeah, the summer that was lost, now is gone

[Verse 2]

Fertile Mrs. Moore

Had thirteen kids but still looked good

C G

'Til her ol' man jumped leave on a ship

She never read a book

But by Christ she understood

C D G

That the meanin' of life starts in bed

[Chorus]

[Solo]

D G C D G

Killer Kilbain

Beat me senseless every day

C G

I hope that bastard is beneath a head of stone

Where I'll dance upon his grave

For all the madness I now crave

C D G

While the scars that remain are still a curse

Stuck on limbo bridge

Where below me ol' Nick grins

C G

Then laughs through the chaos of it all

Gets up off his chair

Spins a jig to my despair

C D G

He can't wait to count the times where I went wrong

C D G

Yeah, he can't wait to count the times where I went wrong

[Last Chorus]

D G

So go and bow your head and weep

For your world won't change while you sleep

Yeah, go and bow your head and weep

For the summer that was lost, now is gone

For the summer that was lost, now is gone

For the summer that was lost, now is gone
