G    C      G    C 

Verse: 
 C         Am                  C 
What can I say to make it all ok? 
            Am                       C 
What can I sing to bring back yesterday 
             F                     Am

What can I say? 


Verse: 
             Am                         C 
A summer of gold unfolds through my window 
            Am                       C 
Evening at last to cast the long shadow 
                 F                         Am 
I won’t raise a song and dance when edges fray 
            C 
What can I say?  
 G          C 
What can I say? 

                   F                       C 
And the corn grew tall since you’ve been away 
                 F            Am 
And I miss you still in every way 
                   F        G           F 
As the days grow short the summer does fade 
                 C 
And I miss you still  
 G          C   G  C 
What can I say 

Verse: 
             Am                           C 
A seasonal change it came one dark Wednesday 
              Am                            C 
A palette of blue and green turned red and grey 
             F                     Am 
What can I shout about when edges fray 
            C  
What can I say?  
 G          C 
What can I say? 

                   F                  C 
And the corns all gone since harvest day 
                 F            Am 
And I miss you still in every way 
                    F      G        F 
As the nights draw in the memories fade 
                 C 
And I miss you still.  
 G          C 
What can I say? 
   F         C 
I miss you still.  
 G          C 
What can I say? 

BREAK: 
   Am 
A summer spent without you 
      C 
Is a summer put to waste 
  Am                         C 
Another summer I can’t face 
                   F    Am 
Won’t you come on hoooooome? 
         C   G 
Come on home 
             F    Am  C  G  C 
What do you say?

                      Am                          C 
The leaves they went brown and down they all did fall 
               Am                        C 
The naked old tree and me we’ve seen it all 
                     F                     Am 
There’s nothing to shout about when edges fray 
            C 
What can I say?  
 G          C 
What can I say? 

                   F                       C 
And the corn grew tall since you’ve been away 
                 F            Am 
And I miss you still in every way 
                   F        G           F 
As the days grow short the summer does fade 
                 C 
And I miss you still.  
  G         C 
What can I say? 

                   F                       C 
And the corn grew tall since you’ve been away 
                 F            Am 
And I miss you still in every way 
                   F        G           F 
As the days grow short the summer does fade 
                 C 
And I miss you still.  
  G         C 
What can I say?
