D D7M Cº B7 Em7 A9 A7
The summer wind came blowin' in across the sea
Em B Em7 A7(9) D7M D6
It lingered there to touch your hair and walk with me
Am7 D7 D D9 D7 G G/F# C9 Gº
All summer long we sang a song and strolled in golden sand
D Bm7(b5) Em7 A7 D7M D6 Em7 A7
Two sweethearts and the summer wind.
D D7M Cº B7 Em7 A9 A7
Like painted kites, the days and nights went flying by
Em B Em7 Em6 D7M D6
The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky
Am7 D7 D9 G G/F# C9 Gº
Then softer than a piper man, one day it called to you
D Bm7(b5) Em7 A7 D7M B7
I lost you to the summer wind
change to E
E E7M E7 Fº F#m7 B7
The autumn wind, the winter winds have come and gone
F#m B7 Fº B7 E9 E E6 E
And still the days, the lonely days, go on and on.
Eº E7 Bm7(b5) E7 A A7M D9 Cº
And guess who sighs his lullabies though nights that never end
E C#m7(b5) F#m B7 E E7M F#m B7
My fickle friend, the summer wind
E E7M F#m B7 E E7M F#m B7 E9
The summer wind, the summer wind
