VERSE:
C      Em     Dm           G
 Once I’d wake up I`d reach out and take your hand
Dm         G      C       C
 The sky was our blanket, our pillow was the sand

C       Em    Dm           G
 Then on the beach and that’s where we fell in love
  Dm       G          C          C
The only one who shared our love were the bright stars up above

C     Em    Dm         G
 Now all I have is my lonely room and winter’s come
Dm           G        C           C
 The only sound that can be heard are my teardrops as they fall


CHORUS:
 C  G   Bb       F   Bb       F
(Remember) Sweet sounds of summer it drives too strongly break
 Bb       F      C
Sweet ways are humming with a sigh

 C     Bb       F   Bb     F
(Remember) Sweet sounds of summer wish I was stronger break
 Bb        F      C
Our hearts were slowly way up high


POST-CHORUS:
     Fm       Bb       Fm      Bb
To those sweet sound was caught, to the quiet of our kiss
    Fm      Bb     Fm      Bb
To the quiet of our lips spelled to our fingertips
       C      Am  C    Bm
And we were lost and in love (so very lost)


PSYCHEDELIC ORGAN:
Quiet, (quiet) Don`t swear

TAMBOURINE:
More,  more

VERSE:
C          Em     Dm      G
 They say life’s a game and it hurries by so fast
Dm        G       C          C
If you find someone to love do your best to make it last

C     Em      Dm           G
 We were too young and the summer`s come and gone
 Dm        G       C       C
Until the time we meet again the memory lingers on
