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:

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
