A         Em      G
I awoke today and found 
                  Em     A
the frost perched on the town
   Em           A
It hovered in a frozen sky 
        G              A
then it gobbled summer down
D                  C
When the sun turns traitor cold 
    D                 C              E         E7
and all the trees are shivering in a naked row

  A                G
I get the urge for going
                    A  A9 A
But I never seem to go
  G       D        A
I get the urge for going
         G      D        A
When the meadow grass is turning brown
G     D       A                          Em      A
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

  A        Em     G
I had me a man in summertime
              Em      A
He had summer-colored skin
    Em          A    
And not another girl in town
   Em                    A
My darling's heart could win
    D                    C
But when the leaves fell on the ground
D                 C
Bully winds came around and
                      E          E7
Pushed them face down in the snow

   A                G
He got the urge for going
                    A  A9 A
But I never seem to go
  G       D        A
I get the urge for going
         G      D         A
When the meadow grass was turning brown
G     D       A                           Em      A
Summertime is falling down and winter was closing in

        A           Em  G
Now the warriors of win ter 
                 Em         A
They gave a cold triumphant shout
    Em                A    
And all that stays is dying 
             Em               A
And all that lives is gettin' out
D                C
See the geese in chevron flight 
D            C           E            E7
Flapping and racing on before the snow

     A                G
They got the urge for going
                         A      A9 A
And they got the wind so they go
     G       D        A
They get the urge for going
         G      D        A
When the meadow grass is turning brown
G     D       A                          Em      A
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

Dm Bb A

     A                 Em       G
I'll ply the fire with kindling now
                          Em    A
I'll pull the blankets up to my chin
              Em      A
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and
     G                  A
I'll bolt my wanderings in
    D                 C
I'd like to call back summertime
D                 C            E          E7
Have her stay for just another month or so

          A                G
But she?s got the urge for going
                          A  A9 A
So I guess she?ll have to go
    G        D        A
She gets the urge for going
         G      D        A
When the meadow grass is turning brown
    G       E         A
And all her empire is closing down
G     D       A                          Em      A
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

      A                G
And I get the urge for going
         G      D        A
When the meadow grass is turning brown
    G     D       A
And summertime is falling down.
