[E] [G#m]
[C#m] [G#m] [B]
[C#m] Ramblin' where to [G#m] begin I taste [B] the summer on your peppery [C#m] skin
Been saved the warmer the [G#m] waves I felt a [B] slip into a watery [C#m] grave
[E] [G#m]
[C#m] [G#m]
[C#m] My girl, linen [G#m] and curls Lips parting like a flag [C#m] I'll unfurl
She's grand, the bend [B] of her hand [B] Diggin' deep into the sweep of [C#m] the sand
[G#m]
[B] [C#m] [G#m] And [B] summer [C#m]
arrives [G#m] With a length [C#m] of light
[G#m] [C#m] Summer blows [A] away [E] And [B] quietly gets swallowed [C#m] by a wave
[D#] [B] Gets swallowed [C#m] by a [E] wave [G#m]
[C#m] Way late, the din [G#m] of the day
Boats bobbing in the blue of the [C#m] bay In deep, [G#m] far beneath
All the dead sailor slowly slipping to [C#m] sleep
[G#m] [B]
[C#m] [G#m] [B]
[C#m] My girl, linen and [G#m] curls [B] Lips parting like a flag of [C#m] London fell
She's bent the bend of [G#m] her hands [B] Digging deep into the sweep of [C#m] the sand
[G#m]
La [C#m] da da da da
[G#m]
[B] And summer [C#m]
arrives [G#m] With a length [C#m] of light
La da [G#m] da da da
And summer [C#m] blows [A] away And [E] quietly gets swallowed by [C#m] a wave
[G#m] Gets swallowed by [C#m] a wave [G#m] [B] Gets swallowed [C#m] by a wave
Gets swallowed by a wave
[G#m] [C#m]
