The Boys Of Summer chords by Don Henley

Intro: Em C D C

Verse 1:

Em
  Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach.
 C
 I feel it in the air, the summer’s out of reach.
 D
  Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone.
 C
 I’m driving by your house, though I know your not home.

Chorus:

G         D
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
                   C
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby.
G         D
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
         C
After the boys of summer have gone.

Em C D C

Verse 2:

Em                 C
I never will forget those nights. I wonder if it was a dream.
D                 C
Remember how you made me crazy, Remember how I made you scream.
Em           C
Now I don’t understand what Happened to our love.
D                 C
But baby, when I get you back, I’m gonna show you what I’m made of.

Chorus

G         D
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
                    C
I see you walking real slow and your smiling at everyone
G         D
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
         C
After the boys of summer have gone.

Out on the road today I saw a Black Flag Sticker on a Cadillac.

A little voice inside my head said:"Don’t look back, you can never look back."

I thought I knew what love was. What did I know?

Those days are gone forever. I should just let them go, but
