Dar Williams - Summerday


CAPO: 2nd Fret


INTRO: D MajorD A minorAm E minorEm G+G D MajorD

            A minorAm
From the ship, we could see it in the distance
    E minorEm
As the fog was finally lifting
    G+G              D MajorD
We had come to the shores of Summerday
          A minorAm                  E minorEm  FF
Gently landing, we jumped out on the sand and found our way

              C majorC         G+G           FF
Where the dirt was soft and black, we started digging a garden and
               C majorC       G+G           Bb majorBb
Soon we found the woods that we'd call The Forest of Arden for to Play
           Eb MajorEb
When we came to Summerday
    Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
On the shores of Summerday
    Bb majorBb      D MajorD
We will live in Summerday


    A minorAm
And we climbed a stony mountain
    E minorEm
We were boisterous then quiet
   G+G                 D MajorD
As we thought about what instruments to make
          A minorAm                E minorEm    FF
Soon we started to build the uilleann pipes and fine guitars


            C majorC      G+G             FF
Then we scouted out the hollows for solitude and silence and
               C majorC      G+G
We found the places we could meet, by the blue and glassy river
                   Bb majorBb
Under stars where the paper lanterns sway
            Eb MajorEb
In the streets of Summerday
     Bb majorBb         Eb MajorEb
Trust the night and trust the day
    Bb majorBb      D MajorD
Sun and moon of Summerday

INTERLUDE: A minorAm E minorEm G+G D MajorD


            A minorAm
We are pilgrims in the land between religions
    E minorEm
We are following our children
    G+G                D MajorD
And we paint in different colours every day
             A minorAm                  E minorEm   FF
And if we're true to our hearts they will grow up and want to stay


             C majorC    G+G            FF
We will work beside them as they build modest houses and
         C majorC       G+G
On a misty April morning we'll rest the shovels on the fence
              Eb MajorEb
And die and become a summer day
    Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
Oh, the fields of Summerday
    Bb majorBb        Eb MajorEb
And the flowers of Summerday
     Bb majorBb      D MajorD   Eb MajorEb
They will live in Summerday


    Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb
To the shores of Summerday
   Bb majorBb      Eb MajorEb
So we sail to Summerday
    Bb majorBb      D MajorD   Eb MajorEb
We will live in Summerday
