Capo 4
C  F  Am  G
C  C/B  Am F G
CI know a plFace,
Where HeAmaven's kissed the Earth,G  
Where the sun Cis easily outFshone,
By the nAmights dazzling eGyes.
Full of Csweet cream and laughFter,
AmHot dogs and baseball gameGs.
And though you may Cnot be at C/Bhome,Am  
You feel riFght where you beloGng,
When you hear Cthem call C/Byour nameAm.
So lonCg, Sweet SummFertime.
So lonAmg, quiet sGtreets.
So lonCg, wide open Ffields.
I Amhope again we'll meeGt.
CI know a plFace,
Where siAmlence has a sound.G  
It's the Csong of the falling sFnow,
Shooting staAmrs and empty roadsG.
The most beaCutiful of stFories,
Of loAmve,

How when the watCer kisseC/Bd the shore,Am  
The eartFh cried out for more,G  
Left a cChain of C/Blakes in Amtow.
So lonCg, Sweet SummFertime.
So lonAmg, quiet sGtreets.
So lonCg, wide open Ffields.
I Amhope again we'll meeGt.
When I brCeathe my final breatFh,
I know wAmhat I will seGe.
I'll see the pClace that waC/Bsn't homAme,
That becaFme where I belonged,G  
When he fell Cin lC/Bove with meAm.
So lonCg, Sweet SummFertime.
So lonAmg, quiet sGtreets.
So lonCg, wide open Ffields.
I Amhope again we'll meeGt.
