Summertime's Close Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C][G][C]
[G]Well, I've had

[Verse 1]
[C]cold and humid
mornings on [F]city streets [C]and back porches
But I [G]ain't never breathed
a breath as fresh as [C]you
And I've seen children playin'
on the coastlines
Under the white [F]lines, atop the blue [C]tides
But I [F]ain't ever [C]been baptized
in [G]water as cool as [C]you

[Verse 2]
And the [C]law don't ever
come back here and I
[F]Reckon they don't try[C]
[F]I just put some [C]beer on ice
Let's [G]just dance for
a moment [C]or two
[Am]'Cause you're the

[Verse 3]
fire of Caro
[G]lina and Ok[C]lahoma [F]too
The stars [Am]in St. L[G]ouis ain't
[C]burnin' bright [F]as you
You're the [Am]waves crashin' [G]down
on the [C]Eastern [F]Coast
[Am]When the day's coolin' [G]off [C]and
[F]the summertime's close
I lost [Am]faith in the [G]world a long time
[F]ago

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C][F][C]
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
[C]We'd always ride those back
roads [F]back when
You got [C]sick
Roll the windows down
Just [G]for the hell of [C]it
You always acted baptized
[F]Every time we hit the [C]coast
[F]Bandana tan [Am]line on your [C]forehead
So the [G]tourists didn't [C]know

[Verse 5]
You're the [Am]fire of Caro[G]lina
and Ok[C]lahoma [F]too
[Am]And the stars in St. [G]Louis ain't
[Am]burnin' [F]bright as you
You're the [Am]waves crashin' [G]down
on the [C]Eastern [F]Coast
[Am]When the day's coolin' off
[C]and the [F]summertime's close
I lost [Am]faith in the [G]world a long time ago
[F]My blood [Am]rush to the [G]heart,
you were [F]my last hope
[C][F][C][F][C]

[Verse 6]
[G][C]
And the law don't ever
come back here and I
[F]Reckon the[C]y don't try
[F]I just put some beer on [C]ice
[G]And tonight I'm dancin' [C]for two
