Cheryl Wheeler - Summer's Almost Over
CAPO: 3rd Fret
INTRO:    G     Am  G  
Summer's almost over and I'm Amcrying, but I don't know Cwhy
GSentimental old fool, Amweeping for this blue, blue Csky
And the Dway the cat is sleeping and the Cway the garden grew
DWagging dogs who lick my face and the Cway I feel for youD  
GPaddling in the kayaks, with my Amsister, through the quiet Ccreek
GMoon upon the water and the Amriver breeze upon my Ccheek
And the Dway my father shuffles with his Ccourage and his cane
And the Dway September bluffs and feints 'til Cautumn falls againD  
GSummer's almost over and I'm Amcrying, but I don't know CwhyG  Am  G  D  
A Gparty for my birthday and a Amtractor for my 50 Cyears
GSwallows at their bird play, spin and Amdive above the new mown Cfields
And a Dweek in Colorado reading Cbooks with my best friend
And the Dthing I knew I couldn't do and Cnow I know I canD  
Who could Ghelp but welcome autumn and the Ampromise of the winter Csnows?
Still there's Gsomething sweet and wistful as I Amwatch this lovely summer Cgo
But the Dsun is sinking sooner and the Cweeds have won at last
With the Dberries on the bushes and the Ccrickets in the grass
INTERLUDE:    D     C     D    C     G    C     G    C    G    D  
GSummer's almost over and I'm Amcrying, but I don't know Cwhy
