Sons Of Summer chords by Carly Simon

Chords with lyrics

E minorEm
It makes me smile
  C majorC
To think of what we dreamed of
FF
Where are those sons of summer now
With their wild-haired women in their
patchwork gowns
   C majorC
Who could laugh the lights away
           G+G
Nights on the beach and bay

FF

A minorAm
The course on farms
C majorC
And the course in the bar
 FF
Sweet smokin' in the back of the car
FF
Always the first time shines to last like a morning star
FF
Like a morning star

C majorC
It's been a while since the last time we were dancing
FF
Where are those sons of summer now
With their long-limbed ladies who all knew how
   C majorC
To chase the blues away
        G+G
I've got the blues today

FF

C majorC
Your ivy days and your clubhouse ways
FF
Wine mug nights when the music played
FF
Love that is real will not fade away like a morning star
      FF
Like a morning star

C majorC

FF
Where are those sons of summer now
The winter has come
              C majorC
And you don't know how to turn your
Dreams into coal
         G+G
Your books won't hold you

FF

A minorAm
The woods get cold
    C majorC
And I feel too old
FF
I begin to questioning your schoolboy soul
C majorC
Clever remarks that once won my heart
      E minorEm
When the fire won't light
      FF
Will they lose their spark
  FF
And I can't help but get a little bit blue
FF
Thinking about the precious nothing we once knew
