_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Ab] _ _ [Am] long [Ab] _ _
[G] hot summer [D] _ [C] _ [G] seems to know [Cm] every [Fm] time you're [G] near
And [F] the [G] touch of a breeze gently [Am] stirs all the trees
[F]
And a [Bm] bird wants to [B] please my [Em] ear _
[Am] The [Ab] long _ [G] _ hot [C] summer _ [G] seems to [C] know what a flirt [Fm] you [G] are
[F] Seems to know [Em] your caress isn't [Am] mine to possess
How [B] could someone [E]
possess a star?
_ [Am] _ _ But [Em] you may long for [Am] me long [Em] before the fall
_ [F] _ _ [G]
[F] Long [C] before the winds announce [F] _ [C]
[F] that winter's [Fm] come to [G] call
_ [C] And meanwhile _ [Am] I'll court you
_ [C]
And meanwhile I'll kiss [B]
you
_ Meanwhile [Am] my lonely arms [Fm] will hold _ [Em] you strong
_ _ _ _ And [A] _
meanwhile the [Am] _ [G] _ [Fm] _ [Gm] long hot [F] summer
_ _ Slowly [G] _
moves [C] along
_ [F] Oh so slowly [C] moves along _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
