Chords for Summerlea - Fred J. Eaglesmith

[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] Nighttime's [C#m] falling on the [F#] summer [B] lea and the supper's getting cold
It's [C#m] the second time in as many weeks [B] he hasn't shown
_ [F#] _ [A] He's probably chasing some old steer across some [C#m] prairie store
_ [B] When she asks him he'll just [A] shrug and say that's the way [E] [C#m] things go _
_ _ _ _ But he only gets into town twice a [B] month and he gets out as fast as he can
And [C#m] he don't have a phone so she can't call him [B] up and she never knows where he is
He [C#m] smells like horses and he [A] chews tobacco [C#m] and he cusses and he spits
_ [B] She's been in love a couple times before but never [E] quite like [C#m]
this
[G#] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ Next month it'll be those [B] damned old rodeos and fairs
[C#m] And he'll be gone for six weeks straight [B] to God only knows where
And he [A] won't win any money _ [C#m] and worse than that he won't care
_ [B] But when she asks him [E] he'll just smile [F#m] he had a real [C#m] good time out there
_ _ _ _ _ But he only gets into town twice a [B] month and he gets out as fast as he can
[C#m] And he don't have a phone so she can't call him up [B] and she never knows where he is
He [E] smells like horses [A] and he chews [C#m] tobacco and he cusses and he spits
[B] She's been in love a couple times [F#] before but [A] never quite [C#] like this _ _ _ _
[C#m] Well he stops his horse to get a [B] light and the water pours off his hat
[F#] He's [C#m] been out in the rain most of the [B] night and he ought to be getting back
He's been [A] thinking about the color of her [C#m] hair and the touch of her hand
_ [B] And the way she quietly smiles _ [A] whenever [E] she looks [C#m] at him _ _ _
_ _ But he only gets into town twice a [B] month and he gets out as fast as he can
[F#] And he [C#m] don't have a phone so he can't call her up [B] and he never knows where she [F#] is
She [A] smells like flowers and perfume [C#m] and _ tobacco and gin _
_ [B] He's been in love a couple times before [A] but never [C#m] quite like this _
[G#] _ _ _ [C#m] _ [B] He's been in love a couple [F#] times [A] before but never quite [C#m] like _ this _ _ _
