C
The sun set so late tonight
F C
I wonder if you saw it too
F C
I wish I still had someone to lose
GC
But all I got are these summertime blues
[Verse 2]
C
Bet there’s a green-eyed, dark-haired beauty
FC
On some beach by Monterey
FC
Letting waves wash her pain away
G
But I’ll never know
[Verse 3]
C
Bet there’s some boys out in Okie
F C
That are praying to get the job done
FC
Hauling hay and fighting off the sun
G
The ladies waiting in town
[Pre-Chorus]
FC
Summertime blues, summertime blues
G Am
I got nothing left to prove
F C
I’m out of touch and out of tune
G
Singing alone
F
To the birds up high
C
And the souls below
G Am
All those boys who ain’t got no home
F C
The beautiful girls I’ll never hold
G
This one’s for you
[Chorus]
F C G Am
My summertime blues
F C G
My summertime blues
C F C F C G
[Verse 4]
C
The quiet turns to revelry
FC
As the sun burns away the spring
F C
The coastlines start to sing
G
With the young and heartless
[Verse 5]
C
Hilton head and the Hamptons
F C
Where the rich all go to die
FC
And the young kids all get high
G
Just to the time
[Verse 6]
C
I bought a bottle of the best bourbon
F C
A beat down boy could buy
FC
I’m gonna’ bury all my sorrow
GC
As the summertime es by
[Pre-Chorus]
FC
Summertime blues, summertime blues
G Am
I got nothing left to prove
F C
I’m out of touch and out of tune
G
Singing alone
F
To the birds up high
C
And the souls below
G Am
All those boys who ain’t got no home
F C
The beautiful girls I’ll never hold
G
This one’s for you
[Chorus]
F C G Am
My summertime blues
F C G
My summertime blues
C F C F C G
C
The sun set so late tonight
F C
I wonder if you saw it too

I wish I had someone to lose

But all I got are these summertime blues
