Summer Is Over - by Dusty Springfield
(Tom Springfield / Clive Westlake)
Cool song from the sixties which beautifully transports the
melancholy mood at the end of the warm season. Could have
been a tune from a James Bond or Quentin Tarantino movie.
Rhythm is three-four time.
Capo 4th fret
Intro: Em A Em Em (2x)
Em A Em
The night runs away with the day
Em A Em
The grass that was green is now hay
Am Em C B
The world goes around without even a sound
Em A Em
And it looks like the summer is over
Em A Em
The rains tumble down in the sky
Em A Em
Young swallows have learned how to fly
Am Em C B
The leaves that were green are no longer so green
Em A Em
And it looks like the summer is over
C D G A
The sun and the moon take turns in the sky
C D G
The days drift on by too soon
F#7 Bm E7 Am
The meadows are kissed by a cool autumn mist
B
Far away now is June
Em A Em
The birds fly away to the sun
Em A Em
The leaves touch the ground one by one
Am Em C B
The breeze hurries by without even goodbye
Em A Em
And it looks like the summer is over
C D G A
The sun and the moon take turns in the sky
C D G
The days drift on by too soon
F#7 Bm E7 Am
The meadows are kissed by a cool autumn mist
B
Far away now is June
Em A Em
The birds fly away to the sun
Em A Em
The leaves touch the ground one by one
Am Em C B
The breeze hurries by without even goodbye
Em A Em
And it looks like the summer is over
Em A Em
And it looks like the summer is over
