[Verse 1]
D
Summer days, summer nights are gone
G7 D
Summer days and the summer nights are gone
A7 D
I know a place where there’s still somethin’ going on
[Verse 2]
D
I got a house on a hill, I got hogs all out in the mud
G7 D
I got a house on a hill, I got hogs out lying in the mud
A7 D
Got a long-haired woman, she got royal Indian blood
[Verse 3]
D
Everybody get ready—lift your glasses and sing
G7 D
Everybody get ready to lift your glasses and sing
A7 D
Well, I’m standin’ on the table, I’m proposing a toast to the King
[Verse 4]
D
Well I’m drivin’ in the flats in a Cadillac car
D
The girls all say, “You’re a worn-out star”
G7 D
My pockets are loaded and I’m spending every dime
A7 D
How can you say you love someone else when you know it’s me all the time?
[Verse 5]
D
Well, the fog’s so thick you can’t spy the land
G7 D
The fog is so thick that you can’t even spy the land
A7 D
What good are you anyway, if you can’t stand up to some old businessman?
[Verse 6]
D
Wedding bells ringin’, the choir is beginning to sing
G7 D
Yes, the wedding bells are ringing and the choir is beginning to sing
A7 D
What looks good in the day, at night is another thing
[Verse 7]
D
She’s looking into my eyes, she’s holding my hand
G7 D
She’s looking into my eyes, she’s holding my hand
A7 D
She says, “You can’t repeat the past.” I say, “You can’t? What do you mean,
D
you can’t? Of course you can.”
[Verse 8]
D
Where do you come from? Where do you go?
D
Sorry that’s nothin’ you would need to know
G7 D
Well, my back has been to the wall for so long, it seems like it’s stuck
A7 D
Why don’t you break my heart one more time just for good luck
[Verse 9]
D
I got eight carburetors, boys I’m using ’em all
G7 D
Well, I got eight carburetors and boys, I’m using ’em all
A7 D
I’m short on gas, my motor’s starting to stall
[Verse 10]
D
My dogs are barking, there must be someone around
G7 D
My dogs are barking, there must be someone around
A7 D
I got my hammer ringin’, pretty baby, but the nails ain’t goin’ down
[Verse 11]
D
You got something to say, speak or hold your peace
G7 D
Well, you got something to say, speak now or hold your peace
A7 D
If it’s information you want you can go get it from the police
[Verse 12]
D
Politician got on his jogging shoes
D
He must be running for office, got no time to lose
G7 D
He been suckin’ the blood out of the genius of generosity
A7 D
You been rolling your eyes—you been teasing me
[Verse 13]
D
Standing by God’s river, my soul is beginnin’ to shake
G7 D
Standing by God’s river, my soul is beginnin’ to shake
A7 D
I’m countin’ on you love, to give me a break
[Verse 14]
D
Well, I’m leaving in the morning as soon as the dark clouds lift
G7 D
Yes, I’m leaving in the morning just as soon as the dark clouds lift
A7 D
Gonna break the roof in—set fire to the place as a parting gift
[Verse 15]
D
Summer days, summer nights are gone
G7 D
Summer days, summer nights are gone
A7 D
I know a place where there’s still somethin’ going on
