(Intro.)
|(C) / / / |(F) / (G) / |(Am) / (G) / |(G) / /

(Verse 1)
The (C)sun set so late tonight
I (F)wonder if you saw it (C)too
I wish I (F)still had someone to (C)lose
But all I (G)got are these summer-(C)time blues

(Verse 2)
Bet there’s a (C)green-eyed, dark-haired beauty
On some (F)beach by Monterey (C)
Letting (F)waves wash her pain a-(C)way
But I’ll never know (G)

(Verse 3)
Bet there’s some (C)boys out in Okie
That are (F)praying to get the job (C)done
Hauling (F)hay and fighting off the (C)sun
The ladies waiting in (G)town

(Pre-Chorus)
My summer-(F)time blues, summer-(C)time blues
I got (G)nothing left to (Am)prove
I’m out of (F)touch and out of (C)tune
Singing a-(G)lone
To the birds up (F)high and the souls be-(C)low
All those (G)boys who ain’t got no (Am)home
The beautiful (F)girls I’ll never (C)hold
This one’s for (G)you

(Chorus)
My summertime (F)blues (C) (G) (Am)
My summertime (F)blues (C) (G) (Am)

(Verse 4)
The (C)quiet turns to revelry
As the (F)sun burns away the (C)spring
The (F)coastlines start to (C)sing
With the young and (G)heartless

(Verse 5)
(C)Hilton head and the Hamptons
Where the (F)rich all go to (C)die
And the (F)young kids all get (C)high
Just to pass the (G)time

(Verse 6)
I bought a (C)bottle of the best bourbon
A beat (F)down boy could (C)buy
I’m gonna’ (F)bury all my (C)sorrow
As the (G)summertime passes (C) by

(Pre-Chorus)
Summertime (F)blues, summertime (C)blues
I got (G)nothing left to (Am)prove
I’m out of (F)touch and out of (C)tune
Singing alone (G)
To the birds up (F)high and the souls be-(C)low
All those (G)boys who ain’t got no (Am)home
The beautiful (F)girls I’ll never (C)hold
This one’s (G)for you

(Chorus)
My summertime (F)blues (C) (G) (Am)
My summertime (F) blues (C) (G)
The (C)sun set so late tonight
I (F)wonder if you saw it too
I wish I (F)still had someone to (C)lose
But all I (G)got are these summertime (C) blues - - - - -
