Sons Of Summer - from Playing Possum 1975

EmIt (022000@1)makes me smile
    G (320003@1)                CTo (x32010@1)think of what we dreamed of
FWhere (133211@1)are those sons of summer now
With their wild-haired women in their
patchwork gowns
      CWho (x32010@1)could laugh the lights away
                     G (320003@1)     
Nights on the beach and bay

F (133211@1)Am (x02210@1)  
The course on farms
C (x32010@1)And the course in the bar
  Em (022000@1)                FSweet (133211@1)smokin' in the back of the car
Am (x02210@1)                    C (x32010@1)                    Em (022000@1)   FAlways (133211@1)the first time shines to last like a morning star
Em (022000@1)            FLike (133211@1)a morning star

Em (022000@1)                         G (320003@1)               CIt's (x32010@1)been a while since the last time we were dancing
F (133211@1)Where are those sons of summer now
With their long-limbed ladies who all knew how
     C (x32010@1)To chase the blues away
               GI've (320003@1)got the blues today

F (133211@1)Am (x02210@1)                          CYour (x32010@1)ivy days and your clubhouse ways
Em (022000@1)                       FWine (133211@1)mug nights when the music played
Am (x02210@1)                        C (x32010@1)                Em (022000@1)  FLove (133211@1)that is real will not fade away like a morning star
           Em (022000@1)  F (133211@1)    
Like a morning star 

C (x32010@1)
FWhere (133211@1)are those sons of summer now
The winter has come
                            CAnd (x32010@1)you don't know how to turn your
Dreams into coal
                  GYour (320003@1)books won't hold you

F (133211@1)Am (x02210@1)        
The woods get cold
        CAnd (x32010@1)I feel too old
Em (022000@1)                            FI (133211@1)begin to questioning your schoolboy soul
Am (x02210@1)                      CClever (x32010@1)remarks that once won my heart
           EmWhen (022000@1)the fire won't light
            FWill (133211@1)they lose their spark
    C (x32010@1)                                 FAnd (133211@1)I can't help but get a little bit blue
C (x32010@1)                                           FThinking (133211@1)about the precious nothing we once knew
