Theme tune from the world's longest running comedy series. I have included three
lyric versions (same chords). The first were written by Roy Clarke the original creator of
the series, the second version written by Bill Owen (Compo) and the third version written
for Compo's funeral after Bill Owen passed away in 1999.
Tabbed from a youtube video - capo on 3, key = D#
[Intro]
C F G C
[Verse 1]
C F
The colour of summer's gone
G C
Of golden days when I was young
F
Of girls who came but soon moved on
G C
Is in my summer wine
[Verse 2]
C F
The perfumes of earth and vine
G C
Of meadows when the rain has gone
F
Of women with their finery on
G C
Is in my summer wine
[Bridge]
F Em Dm7 G7 C
The memories I can see here in my cup
Fm Eb
Of sweet short days bitter days
Dm7 G7
Now all drunk up
[Verse 3]
C F
The taste of the life that slips
G C
From day to day through fingers blind
F
The honey from the woman's lips
G C
Is in my summer wine
Bill Owen's (Compo)lyrics
[Verse 1]
C F
The last of the summer wine
G C
The sweet bouquet of memories
F
Of you and I as time goes by
G C
I still remember these
[Verse 2]
C F
The last of the summer wine
G C
When passing shadows still recur
F
Of golden days so young in love
G C
And that's the way we were
[Bridge]
F Em Dm7 G7 C
We had our dreams to change the world as people will
Fm Eb
But now we're known as the folk
Dm7 G7
Who live on the hill
[Verse 3]
C F
The last of the summer wine
G C
A vintage love a vintage brew
F
And now my love this toast I give
G C
Thank you for being you
Compo's funeral lyrics
[Verse 1]
C F
Now all of his summer's gone
G C
Those urgent days when he was young
F
Those girls he loved but soon moved on
G C
To drink his summer wine
[Verse 2]
C F
Now perfumes of earth and vine
G C
Of meadows when the rain has gone
F
These friends with their black armbands on
G C
Salute his summer wine
[Bridge]
F Em Dm7 G7 C
The memories he left to me here in my cup
Fm Eb
Of sweet short days bitter days
Dm7 G7
Now all drunk up
[Verse 3]
C F
The fullness of the life that slipped
G C
The other day all mortal pain
F
Free now to roam fresh hills and lanes
G C
And taste eternal wine
