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

Intro: F#5  B5  ( Bb5 )
  
           F#5                   B5                   F#5  B5  ( Bb5 )
There's an old pair of sneakers dangling from a wire
       F#5                     B5                      C#5
And my old rusty engine is in need of some brand new tires
    Eb5                      B5                   C#5                   F#5  
And from my front steps, the last of the weekend vettes goes blasting by
         G#5                     B5                   Eb5    C#5
Won't be nothing so cold as this beach in the winter time

 Chorus:
F#5                                            B5
Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
    F#5              B5
The same old record played
F#5                                    B5
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
    F#5                C#5                      F#5
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days

Repeat intro: 
F#5  B5  ( Bb5 )
Verse 2:
     F#5                              B5                            F#5   B5
I can still hear you laugh, with your hair blowing back in my car
      F#5                              B5                        C#5
I can still feel your curves, when we danced in that boardwalk bar
          Eb5                                 B5               C#5
And I can still taste your lips from that one last stolen kiss
                 F#5       
By the firelight
         G#5                     B5                   Eb5    C#5
Won't be nothing so cold as this beach in the winter time

 Chorus:
F#5                                            B5
Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
    F#5              B5
The same old record played
F#5                                    B5
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
    F#5                C#5                      Eb5
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days

(Solo)
G#5    C#5   F#5  ( F )  Eb5   G#5   C#5


(Bridge)
E*           B5                     F#5
One day you just felt a change and slipped away
E*            B5               F#5
Maybe it was never meant to be
E*                B5                  F#5                                  C#5
Now the sound of footsteps makes me hope and pray you're coming back to me

(Verse)
          F#5                                B5                    F#5  B5  ( Bb5 )
There's a warm breeze that's blowing as the shadows go tumbling by
         F#5                       B5                     C#5
And it's picking up sand, and that must be what's in my eye

 Chorus:
F#5                                            B5
Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
    F#5              B5
The same old record played
F#5                                    B5
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
    F#5                C#5                      F#5
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days


F#5                                            B5
Sun's been down since you've been gone, and I don't know why or for how long
    F#5              B5
The same old record played
F#5                                    B5
I've been trying to move along, but I keep on singing the same old song
    F#5                C#5                      F#5
The end of the summer days, end of the summer days

and repeating 
F#5   B5

End of the summer days, oooh
