Summer Wind
CThe summer wind came blowing in a G7cross the sea,
It lingered there to touch your hair and Cwalk with me.
C7All summer long we sang a song and Fstrolled the golden Fmsand.
CTwo sweethearts G7and Cthe summer wind.A7  
DLike painted kites the days and nights went A7flying by.
The world was new beneath a blue um Dbrella sky.
Then, D7softer than a piper man
One Gday it called to Gmyou.
DI lost you A7to the Dsummer wind.B7  
EThe autumn wind, the winter winds
Have B7come and gone
And still the days, the lonely days
Go Eon and on
And E7guess who sighs his lullabies
Through Anights that never Amend.
EMy fick-le B7friend, Ethe summer wind,
EThe summer wind, Ethe summer wind.
[Alternate tag]
EMy fick-le B7friend, Ethe summer wind
EMy fick-le B7friend, Ethe summer wind
EMy fick-le B7friend, Ethe summer wind
