Chords for Rufus Wainwright/ Teddy Thompson @ Rabozaal SARATOGA SUMMER SONG

The facts of this tour is that I am [A] singing, uh, [C#] well you'll hear [C] a lot of Kate McGarrigle _ material. _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ Um, next, uh, no, next [G#] week, it's in two days actually, we're [B]
premiering a film [A] at Sundance [G#] _ [A] in London.
They're doing it at the O2 in conjunction [F#] with the Olympics.
Anyways, it's a [D#] film, uh, [D#] _ it's about my mother, though it's more of a concert film of her material.
It's called Sing Me the Songs that Say [A] I Love You, a concert for [G] Kate McGarrigle.
And, um, [F#] there's [D] incredible artists [G#] in it like, uh, Emmylou [A#] Harris, [E] Nora Jones, Antony, [G#] _
um, uh, myself, the family.
_ [D#] And, um, so it's a beautiful, beautiful film, uh, [G#] very touching, and it's premiering in two days.
And, uh, [D] so in conjunction [B] with that, and also the fact that _ two of [G] the highlights of the film are, [C] _
have graced [A] me with their [D#] presence, uh, [D] in terms of agreeing [A#] to be in my band.
Um, [Am] Teddy Thompson and Crystal Warren are [Fm] now going to come up and [A] sing for you their selections, [G#] uh, from the film.
The [G] first song is called the Saratoga Song, and the next one is [N] called I Don't Know.
So, _ enjoy. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

We [E] were _ nice young adults, we proved ourselves, we [B] showed [E] results, like cats and dogs who'd _ _ undergone a fix.
_ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ Fashionably [B] cynical, _ [E] and love to us was clinical.
_ _ Long ago, we [F#m] gave up getting [E] our kicks.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] But the summer sun [B] came down [E] on all of us.
Fun to [B] feel, fun to [E] fall _ [B] into a sloppy [E] teenage _ scene.
_ [B] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ Gossiping [B] and having crushes, [E] turning lights to hide our blushes.
My God, _ [B] I thought I was [E] sixty, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
almost _ happy. _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ Turn the green _ buds into _ _ [F#]
flowers. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ This crazy summer _ is _ [Em] over. _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ No more bees, _ [C#] no _ more [G] _
clover.
_ [B] _ Oh, [F#] at the swimming hole, [B] _ swings by [F#] the weight of [B] the wind. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Skidmore girls come _ back to [Em] _ town.
_ _ [B] _
All the freaks _ head [C#] _
_ _ underground.
[G] _ _ [B] And we, who are [F#] free, _ _
_ [B] swing like [F#] the rope on [B] that tree. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ We danced and played some tennis, _ made love with Fred or Dennis.
[E] We drank lots of beer and ate a whole lot of food.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] We put our bodies [B] to the sun, [E] forgot _ to [F#] see in _ everyone.
[E] We _ swam, [B] just three [E] swans.
_ _ [B] _ _ _
And [E] the New York [B] City ballet dancers _ [E] danced for all [B] the neighborhood cancers [E] who were celebrating [B] their birthdays [E] in the sun.
_ _ [B] _
_ _ [E] And all that sun [B]
brought dope and lust.
[E] We weren't too smart and we had a bust.
But _ _ nobody _ _ slept [E] alone.
_ _ [B] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [C#] _
Night _ turned _ to _ _ _ day. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Summer [D#] went [F] _ _ [F#] away. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ This crazy summer is _ [D#] _ [Em] past now. _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ Sunrise to sunset [Em] is fading _ [G] fast _ now.
[B] And _ all [F#] I want [B] is to see [F#] the rope on [B] that tree. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So bring back the bagels, bring back [Em] the locks.
_ _ [B] _
Let's have another, _ _ [C#] _
[Em] another _ [G] night.
Bring back the [B]
laughs, bring back [F#] the tears.
Bring back the [B] days, bring back the [F#] dope.
Burn the _ _ [B] night. _
