Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑

[C]The summer wind came blowing in A[G7]cross the sea, [G7]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 [B7]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 fickle [B7]friend, [E]the summer wind, [E]The summer wind, [E]the summer wind. [E]The summer wind, [E]the summer wind. [E]The summer wind, [E]the summer wind.
