VERSE 1
********
G Dm F
I awoke today and found
Dm G
The frost perched on the town
Dm G
It hovered in a frozen sky
F G
Then it gobbled summer down
C Bb
When the sun turns traitor cold
C Bb D D7
And all the trees are shivering in a naked row
-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
G F
I get the urge for going
G
But I never seem to go
F C G
I get the urge for going
F C G
When the meadow grass is turning brown
F C G Dm G
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
-----------------------
VERSE 2
********
G Dm F
I had me a man in summertime
Dm G
He had summer-coloured skin
Dm G
And not another girl in town
Dm G
My darling's heart could win
C Bb
But when the leaves fell on the ground
C Bb
Bully winds came around and
D D7
Pushed them face down in the snow
-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
G F
He got the urge for going
G
But I never seem to go
F C G
I get the urge for going
F C G
When the meadow grass was turning brown
F C G Dm G
Summertime is falling down and winter was closing in
-----------------------
VERSE 3
********
G Dm F
Now the warriors of winter
Dm G
They gave a cold triumphant shout
Dm G
And all that stays is dying
Dm G
And all that lives is getting out
C Bb
See the geese in chevron flight
C Bb D D7
Flapping and racing on before the snow
-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
G F
They got the urge for going
G
And they got the wind so they go
F C G
They get the urge for going
F C G
When the meadow grass is turning brown
F C G Dm G
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
-----------------------
VERSE 4
********
G Dm F
I'll ply the fire with kindling now
Dm G
I'll pull the blankets up to my chin
Dm G
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and
F G
I'll bolt my wanderings in
C Bb
I'd like to call back summertime
C Bb D D7
Have her stay for just another month or so
-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
G F
But she’s got the urge for going
G
So I guess she’ll have to go
F C G
She gets the urge for going
F C G
When the meadow grass is turning brown
F D G
And all her empire is closing down
F C G Dm G
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
G F
And I get the urge for going
F C G
When the meadow grass is turning brown
F C G
And summertime is falling down
