A5       C5
Ramblin' where to begin
E5                         G5
I taste the summer on your peppery skin
A5             C5
Been saved the warmer the waves
E5                   G5
I felt a slip into a watery grave

   A5   C5     E5   G5        A5        C5     E5   G5
Oh oh,  uh ho ho,     la de da de da, uh ho ho,

A5       C5
My girl, linen and curls
E5                  G5
Lips parting like a flag all unfurled
A5              C5
She's grand the bend of her hand
E5                                 G5
Digging deep into the sweep of the sand

G5      A5       C5
Summer arrives (oh oh oh oh)
E5               A5       C5
with a length of lights  (oh oh oh oh)
E5     A5    F5
Summer blows away
    C5            G5              (intro)  A5  C5  E5
And quietly gets swallowed by a wave
G5
It gets swallowed by a wave

(intro)  A5  C5  E5 G5

A5         C5
Waylay the din of the day
E5                   G5
Boats bobbing in the blue of the bay
A5      C5
In deep far beneath
E5                   G5
all the dead sailors Slowly slipping to sleep

A5       C5
My girl, linen and curls
E5                  G5
Lips parting like a flag all unfurled
A5              C5
She's grand the bend of her hand
E5                                 G5
Digging deep into the sweep of the sand

G5      A5       C5
Summer arrives (oh oh oh oh)
E5               A5       C5
with a length of lights  (oh oh oh oh)
E5     A5    F5
Summer blows away
    C5            G5              (intro)  A5  C5  E5
And quietly gets swallowed by a wave
G5
It gets swallowed by a wave
