Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
| A D | E A |
| A D | E A   |


Verse 1:
      A                       D
I was in your presence for an hour or so
   E                     A
Or was it a day? I truly don’t know
          A                        D
Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
        E                A
By that soft and shining sea
A                       D
 Did you respect me for what I did
E                                A
 Or for what I didn’t do, or for keeping it hid?
      A                   D
Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid
E                  A
 Of everything you see?

Chorus:
       A          D E           A
In the summertime ... ah in the summertime
       A           D  E                  A
In the summertime ... when you were with me


Interlude:
| A D | E A |
| A D | E A   |


Verse 2:
A                    D
 I got the heart and you got the blood
   E                       A
We cut through iron and we cut through mud
A                               D
 Then came the warnin’ that was before the flood
E                   A
 That set everybody free
A                 D
Fools they made a mock of sin
E                 A
 Our loyalty they tried to win
A                                  D
 But you were closer to me than my next of kin
          E                      A
When they didn’t want to know or see


Chorus:
       A          D E           A
In the summertime ... ah in the summertime
       A           D  E                  A
In the summertime ... when you were with me


Interlude:
| A D | E A |
| A D | E A   |


Verse 3:
A                          D
Strangers, they meddled in our affairs
E            A
 Poverty and shame was theirs
A                                  D
 But all that sufferin’ was not to be compared
         E                A
With the glory that is to be
A                           D
 And I’m still carrying the gift you gave
       E                         A
It’s a part of me now, it’s been cherished and saved
A                   D
 It’ll be with me unto the grave
E                    A
 And then unto eternity


Chorus:
       A          D E           A
In the summertime ... ah in the summertime
       A           D  E                  A
In the summertime ... when you were with me


Outro:
| A D | E A |
