Em B5+
The summer smiles, the summer knows
Em7 Em6
And unashamed, she sheds her clothes
Am Am7+
The summer smoothes the restless sky
Am7 F#m B4/7 B7
And lovingly she warms the sand on which you lie
E Am6
The summer knows, the summer's wise
E Bm7
She sees the doubts within your eyes
A7M Bbm5-/7
And so she takes her summer time
G# C#m7 G# D7
Tells the moon to wait and the sun to linger
G Cm7 G C#7
Twists the world 'round her summer finger
E F#m7 B4/7 B7
Lets you see the wonder of it all
E F#m
And if you've learned your lesson well
E Am6
There's little more for her to tell
Em B5+ F#m7 B7 Em E5+ F#m7 B7 E9
One last carress it's time to dress for fall
