[Opening]
[C]The summer wind came blowing in
A[G7]cross the sea,
[G7]It lingered there to touch your hair
and [C]walk with me.
[C7]All summer long we sang a song
and [F]strolled the golden [Fm]sand.
[C]Two sweethearts [G7]and [C]the summer wind. [A7]
[section 2]
[D]Like painted kites the days and nights
went [A7]flying by.
The world was new beneath a blue um[D]brella sky.
Then, [D7]softer than a piper man
One [G]day it called to [Gm]you.
[D]I lost you [A7]to the [D]summer wind. [B7]
[Closing]
[E]The autumn wind, the winter winds
Have [B7]come and gone
[B7]And still the days, the lonely days
Go [E]on and on
And [E7]guess who sighs his lullabies
Through [A]nights that never [Am]end.
[E]My fickle [B7]friend, [E]the summer wind,
[E]The summer wind, [E]the summer wind.
[E]The summer wind, [E]the summer wind.
[E]The summer wind, [E]the summer wind.
