Sweet Summertime
Music & Lyrics by Jacqui Treco
Capo 4
C— F— Am— G
C— C/B —Am—F—G
C F
I know a place,
Am G
Where Heaven's kissed the Earth,
C F
Where the sun is easily outshone,
Am G
By the nights dazzling eyes.
C F
Full of sweet cream and laughter,
Am G
Hot dogs and baseball games.
C C/B Am
And though you may not be at home,
F G
You feel right where you belong,
C C/B Am
When you hear them call your name.
C F
So long, Sweet Summertime.
Am G
So long, quiet streets.
C F
So long, wide open fields.
Am G
I hope again we'll meet.
C F
I know a place,
Am G
Where silence has a sound.
C F
It's the song of the falling snow,
Am G
Shooting stars and empty roads.
C F
The most beautiful of stories,
Am
Of love,
G
Ever told.
C C/B Am
How when the water kissed the shore,
F G
The earth cried out for more,
C C/B Am
Left a chain of lakes in tow.
C F
So long, Sweet Summertime.
Am G
So long, quiet streets.
C F
So long, wide open fields.
Am G
I hope again we'll meet.
C F
When I breathe my final breath,
Am G
I know what I will see.
C C/B Am
I'll see the place that wasn't home,
F G
That became where I belonged,
C C/B Am
When he fell in love with me.
C F
So long, Sweet Summertime.
Am G
So long, quiet streets.
C F
So long, wide open fields.
Am G
I hope again we'll meet.
