The End Of The Summer Days

( D. Vaughn, M. Clayton, B. St.James )

Intro: F#  B  (Bb)

           F#                   B                   F#  B  (Bb)
There's an old pair of sneakers dangling from a wire
       F#                     B                      C#
And my old rusty engine is in need of some brand new tires
    Ebm                      B                   C#                   F#
And from my front steps, the last of the weekend vettes goes blasting by
         G#m                     B                   Ebm    C#
Won't be nothing so cold as this beach in the winter time

 Chorus:
F#                                            B
Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
    F#              B
The same old record played
F#                                    B
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
    F#                C#                      F#
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days

Repeat intro: F#  B  (Bb)

Verse 2:

     F#                              B                            F#   B
I can still hear you laugh, with your hair blowing back in my car
      F#                              B                        C#
I can still feel your curves, when we danced in that boardwalk bar
          Ebm                                 B               C#
And I can still taste your lips from that one last stolen kiss
                 F#
By the firelight
         G#m                     B                   Ebm    C#
Won't be nothing so cold as this beach in the winter time

 Chorus:
F#                                            B
Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
    F#              B
The same old record played
F#                                    B
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
    F#                C#                      Ebm
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days

(Bridge)
E*           B                     F#
One day you just felt a change and slipped away
E*            B               F#
Maybe it was never meant to be
E*                B                  F#                                  C#
Now the sound of footsteps makes me hope and pray you're coming back to me

(Verse)
          F#                                B                    F#  B  (Bb)
There's a warm breeze that's blowing as the shadows go tumbling by
         F#                       B                     C#
And it's picking up sand, and that must be what's in my eye

 Chorus:
F#                                            B
Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
    F#              B
The same old record played
F#                                    B
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
    F#                C#                      F#
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days

F#                                            B
Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
    F#              B
The same old record played
F#                                    B
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
    F#                C#                      F#
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days

and repeating F#   B
