  			     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
