Intro: A D (x2)
A
I walked you to the corner we stood beside the bus
D
And the tears rolled down our faces as the driver stared at us
A
Typical summer that time of year
D
When you go back to Toronto and I stay here
E
And I’ll miss the way you wake up
D
And the way that you sigh
E D A
And I’ll miss the way you turn your head away when you cry
E
I don’t think this time will fly
A D
Here comes the sad nights again
Bm E A
Here comes the sad nights again
Round about midnight when it’s still too hot to think
We’ll go back down to the neighborhood and get ourselves a drink
Everyday working not getting far
You know this town ain’t much for starting up it’s only
made for stars
Later when I’m walking
Underneath the starless sky
There’s a couple in the doorway and I think I hear them cry
But they turn their heads when I go by
CHORUS
F#m D F#m E
F#m D Bm E
Last days of summer San Gennaro Feast
There’s much hanging in the air and dancing in the streets
People line the corners and they stand beside the fires
And I’m watching from my window as the sparks go by
Somewhere there’s a gunshot
People scatter everywhere
But it happens everyday so there’s still laughter in the air
And as I lay down I wish you were here
CHORUS
Bm E A
Here comes the sad nights again
A-Asus2-A (repeat to end)
