[C]The summer wind came blowing in a[G7]cross the sea,
It lingered there to touch your hair and [C]walk with me.
[C7]All summer long we sang a song and [F]strolled the golden [Fm]sand.
[C]Two sweethearts [G7] and [C] the summer wind. [A7]
[D]Like painted kites the days and nights went [A7]flying by.
The world was new beneath a blue um[D]brella sky.
Then, [D7]softer than a piper man
One [G]day it called to [Gm]you.
[D] I lost you [A7] to the [D] summer wind. [B7]
[E]The autumn wind, the winter winds
Have [B7]come and gone
And still the days, the lonely days
Go [E] on and on
And [E7]guess who sighs his lullabies
Through [A]nights that never [Am] end.
[E] My fick-le [B7] friend, [E] the summer wind,
[E]The summer wind, [E]the summer wind.
Alternate tag
[E] My fick-le [B7] friend, [E] the summer wind
[E] My fick-le [B7] friend, [E] the summer wind
[E] My fick-le [B7] friend, [E] the summer wind
____________________
Frank sang it in E-F#-G# Lyle does Eb-F-G This is a little easier for me at
C-D-E. For fun try in fast in cut time it sounds pretty good but it makes a
very short song.
