The Boys of Summer

[Intro] Dm  A#  C  A#

Dm
Nobody on the road

Nobody on the beach

A#
I feel it in the air

The summer's out of reach

C
Empty lake

Empty streets

The sun goes down alone

A#
I'm drivin' by your house

Though I know you're not home

F
But I can see you-
C
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
C
You got your hair combed back and your
A#
Sunglasses on, baby
F                     C
And I can tell you my love for

You will still be strong
C                  A#
After the boys of summer have gone

 Dm  A#  C  A#

Dm
I never will forget those nights

I wonder if it was a dream
A#
Remember how you made me crazy?

Remember how I made you scream?
C
Now I don't understand what's happened to our love
A#
But baby when I get you back

I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

F
I can see you-
C
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
C                          A#
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
F                   C
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
C              A#
After the boys of summer have gone

[Ponte] A#  Dm  A#  C  A#

Dm
Out on the road today I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A#
A little voice inside my head said
"Don't look back. You can never look back."
C
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
A#
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-

F
I can see you-
C
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
C                                A#
You got that top pulled down and that radio on baby
F                   C
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
C                  A#
After the boys of summer have gone

F
I can see you-
C
Your brown skin shining in the sun
C                              A#
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
F                  C
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
C                 A#
After the boys of summer have gone
