SUMMER (THE FIRST TIME) - Bobby Goldsboro Intro A|---2-0-4-2-7-6-| E|-2-------------| A/F#- (202220@1)E- (022100@1)B7- (x21202@1)A/F#- (202220@1)E- (022100@1)B7 (x21202@1)A/F# (202220@1) It was a hot afternoon, E (022100@1) the last day of June, B7 (x21202@1) and the sun was a demon. A/F# (202220@1) The clouds were afraid, E (022100@1) one ten in the shade, B7 (x21202@1) and the pavement was steamin' A/F# (202220@1) I told Billy Ray E (022100@1) in his red Chevro- let, B7 (x21202@1) I needed time for some thinkin'. A/F# (202220@1) I was just walking by E (022100@1) when I looked in her eye, B7 (x21202@1) and I swore it was winkin'. D (xx0232@1) Bm (x24432@1) She was thirty-one, and I was seventeen, C#m (x13321@4) F#m (244222@1) I knew nothing about love, she knew everything. D (xx0232@1) Bm (x24432@1) But I sat down beside her on that front porch swing, C#7 (x4342x@1) F#m (244222@1) and wondered what the coming night would bring. B - F#madd11=2x A/F# (202220@1) The sun closed her eyes E (022100@1) as it climbed in the skies, B7 (x21202@1) and it started to swelter. A/F# (202220@1) The sweat trickled down E (022100@1) the front of her gown, B7 (x21202@1) I thought it would melt her. A/F# (202220@1) She threw back her hair E (022100@1) like I wasn't there, B7 (x21202@1) she sipped on a Julep. A/F# (202220@1) Her shoulders were bare, E (022100@1) and I tried not to stare, B7 (x21202@1) when I looked at her two lips. D (xx0232@1) Bm (x24432@1) And when she looked at me, I heard her softly say, C#m7 (x4242x@1) F#m (244222@1) 'I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say. D (xx0232@1) Bm (x24432@1) But stay with me until the sun has gone away, C#7 (x4342x@1) F#m (244222@1) and I will chase the boy in you a- way. B - F#madd11=2x F#m/D D/B (x20232@1) And then she smiled, then we talked for a while, C#m7 (x4242x@1) F# (244322@1) and we walked for a mile to the sea. F#m/D D/B (x20232@1) We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand, C#m7 (x4242x@1) F# (244322@1) but he saw the sun rise as a man. F#m/D - C#m7- (x4242x@1)C#m7- (x4242x@1)F#2x (244322@1)B- (x2444x@1)F#madd11=2x A/F# (202220@1) Ten years have gone by E (022100@1) since I looked in her eyes, B7 (x21202@1) but the memory lingers. A/F# (202220@1) I go back in my mind E (022100@1) to the very first time, B7 (x21202@1) feel the touch of her fingers. A/F# (202220@1) It was a hot afternoon, E (022100@1) the last day of June, B7 (x21202@1) and the sun was a demon...
