Intro: Eb Bb7 Eb Bb7 Eb Bb7 Eb Bb7 
 
       Eb                                                 Bb7         
The summer wind, came blowin' in across the sea  
      Bb7                                                     Eb 
It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me  
         Eb7                                                 Ab                      Abm6  Eb 
All summer long, we sang a song and strolled on golden sand  
           Gm Fm      Bb11 Bb7        Eb                  C7 
Two sweet hearts, and            the summer wind  
           F                                                              C7 
Like painted kites, those days and nights went flyin' by  
                                                              F 
The world was new, beneath a blue umbrella sky  
          F7                                         Bb                    Bbm6 F 
Then softer than, a piper man one day it called to you  
   Am Gm   C11 C7       F                    D7  
I lost  you   to          the summer wind  
       G                                                              D7 
The autumn wind, and the winter wind have come and gone  
                                                           G 
And still the days, those lonely days go on and on  
         G7                                                           C                     Cm6  G 
And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end  
      Bm Am  Dm    D7         
My fickle    friend,       
         G6                                                                       G 
The summer wind, the summer wind, the summer wind
