Chords for Summer Girls - Ralph McTell

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ This is a song from the Dylan Thomas project that I set myself a few years ago and _ _ _
Graham helped me realize the dream of getting this this piece of work together, _ and this is the first song on the album
_ _ [Em] _
And it's about the young Dylan _ _
[G#] Young Dylan Thomas dreaming about [F#] his first girlfriend the one he hasn't yet met
_ [F] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ This summer is gonna be different.
I [F] will move across the [Am] town _ _ _ _
Brominated above [C] the beach _ until my [D] face turns brown
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ [F] Hands in my pockets in a casual stroll from the [C] town beach to the docks
_ The girls are walking _ twos and threes
[G]
That pretty cotton frogs teased by the breeze
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
And I will find a [Am] long-lost [G] summer _ good _ _ _ _
_ for [C] me _ _ _ I
_ Will [C] assume the accent of [F] some Yankee [A] Sailor [Am] boy
_ [Em] _ _ [F] Stranded between [C] merchant ships with some _ time to [G] enjoy _ _
_ _ _ Here [F] we go to down [G] by the bay [C] with top knee ice cream [F] cones
_ _ [C] _
Danny coats
_ _ Sandy kisses
[G] _ _ breastless smoother [G] _ stones washed by the sea _ _ _ _
_ And I will find a long-lost summer good _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] for me _ _
_ _ _ _ Her name [F]
will be [C] Pamela _ _ _
I'll be Chuck [Am] O _ 'Wayne [F] and we will know and [C] love each other
Then I will _ [G] explain _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] Why _ [G] haven't found a ship [C] and that I live [F] in town
And [C] before we share that _ cigarette
_ [G] In waves of love will drown down by the sea
[G] _ _
_ _ [C] my [G] long
then _ _ salted summer [Em] good
_ _ _ _ [C] and _ me
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well, she won't cry for my leaving [F] she will cry because I [Am] stay _
She will [F] cry for my [C] _ deceiving now.
We can [G] meet every day
_ _ _ [G] _ _ Well, there's a [F] love affair it grew so strong [C] because we'd have to [F] _ part
_ And now we will do anyway, _ [G] and she will take my heart and I'll be free _ _
_ _ _ _ To find another summer girl
Who give it back [C] to me? _ _ _
_ _ Well, this summer is gonna be different.
_ [F] I will move across the [Am] town
_ And [F] I will _ _ promenade above [G] the [C] beach _
Until my [G] face turns brown _ _
_ _ _ With [F] my hands in my pockets and [G] a casual stroll from [C] the town beach to [F] the dogs _ _
[C] The girls they walk in twos and threes
[G] They pretty cotton [G] frogs tease by the breeze _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And I will find a long-lost summer good _ _
_ I _ _ _ will find a long-lost summer good
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
