Summer(The First Time.)Bobby Goldsboro. #18 in 1973. INTRO: B5 A5 E5 B5 #1. B5 A5 E5 It was a hot afternoon, the last day of June, B5 F#5 B5 F#5 and the sun was a demon. A5 E5 The clouds were afraid, one ten in the shade, B5 F#5 B5 F#5 and the pavement was steamin'. #2. A5 E5 I told Billy Ray in his red Chevrolet, B5 F#5 B5 F#5 I needed time for some thinkin'. A5 E5 I was just walking by when I looked in her eye, B5 F#5 B5 F#5 and I swore it was winkin'. CHORUS: D5 B5 She was thirty-one, and I was seventeen, C#5 F#5 I knew nothing about love, she knew everything. D5 B5 But I sat down beside her on that front porch swing, C#5 F#5 B5 and wondered what the coming night would bring. #3. A5 E5 The sun closed her eyes as it climbed in the skies, B5 F#5 B5 F#5 and it started to swelter. A5 E5 The sweat trickled down the front of her gown, B5 F#5 B5 F#5 I thought it would melt her. #4. A5 E5 She threw back her hair like I wasn't there, B5 F#5 B5 F#5 she sipped on a Julep. A5 E5 Her shoulders were bare, and I tried not to stare, B5 F#5 B5 F#5 when I looked at her two lips. CHORUS:#2: D5 B5 And when she looked at me, I heard her softly say, C#5 F#5 'I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say. D5 B5 But stay with me until the sun has gone away, C#5 F#5 B5 F#5 B5 F#5 B5 and I will chase the boy in you away. F#5 D5 And then she smiled, then we talked for a while, C#5 F#5 and we walked for a mile to the sea. F#5 D5 We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand, C#5 F#5 but he saw the sun rise as a man. D5 B5 C#5 F#5 (x2) B5 #5. A5 E5 Ten years have gone by since I looked in her eyes, B5 F#5 B5 F#5 but the memory lingers. A5 E5 I go back in my mind to the very first time, B5 F#5 B5 F#5 feel the touch of her fingers. OUTRO: A5 E5 It was a hot afternoon, the last day of June, B5 F#5 B5 F#5 and the sun was a demon... A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
