  			     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.
