(intro) C#m E G#m B, (walk up B, C, C#m)
C#m E
Ramblin' where to begin
G#m B
I taste the summer on your peppery skin
C#m E
Been saved the warmer the waves
G#m B
I felt a slip into a watery grave
C#m E G#m B C#m E G#m B
Oh oh, uh ho ho, la de da de da, uh ho ho,
C#m E
My girl, linen and curls
G#m B
Lips parting like a flag all unfurled
C#m E
She's grand the bend of her hand
G#m B
Digging deep into the sweep of the sand
C#m E G#m B C#m E G#m B
Oh oh, uh ho ho, la de da de da, uh ho ho,
B C#m Emaj7
Summer arrives (oh oh oh oh)
G#m C#m Emaj7
with a length of lights (oh oh oh oh)
G#m C#m A
Summer blows away
E B (intro) C#m E G#m B, (walk up B, C, C#m)
And quietly gets swallowed by a wave
G
It gets swallowed by a wave
(intro)
C#m E G#m B
C#m E
Waylay the din of the day
G#m B
Boats bobbing in the blue of the bay
C#m E
In deep far beneath
G#m B
all the dead sailors Slowly slipping to sleep
C#m E
My girl, linen and curls
G#m B
Lips parting like a flag all unfurled
C#m E
She's grand the bend of her hand
G#m B
Digging deep into the sweep of the sand
B C#m Emaj7
Summer arrives (oh oh oh oh)
G#m C#m Emaj7
with a length of lights (oh oh oh oh)
G#m C#m A
Summer blows away
E B (intro) C#m E G#m
And quietly gets swallowed by a wave
B C#m
It gets swallowed by a wave
