nd Fret/KEY: E/PLAY: D
(D) In the summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be (A7) blue
'Cause you don't want my (D) love ...
Some other time, that's what you say, when I want you
Then you laugh at me and make me (A7) cry
'Cause you don't want my (D) love.
CHORUS
You don't (G) seem to care a thing about me
You'd rather live without me, than to (D) have my arms around you
When the nights are cold and you're so all a-(A7) lone ...
In the (D) summertime, when all the trees and leaves are green
And the redbird sings, I'll be (A7) blue
'Cause you don't want my (D) love.
(D) Once upon a time, you used to smile and wave to me
And walk with me, but now you (A7) don't
You don't want my (D) love ...
Some other guy is takin' up all your time
Now you don't have time for (A7) me
You don't want my (D) love.
CHORUS
