Summer Is Over - by Dusty Springfield

  (Tom Springfield / Clive Westlake)

Cool song from the sixties which beautifully transports the
melancholy mood at the end of the warm season. Could have
been a tune from a James Bond or Quentin Tarantino movie.

This is the capo free version in the original key. If you must
have a capo, use the app to transpose the song 4 halftones
down and put the capo in the 4th fret.

Rhythm is three-four time.

Intro:    Abm   C#  Abm Abm  (2x)


     Abm       C#            Abm
The night runs away with the day
     Abm           C#           Abm
The grass that was green is now hay
     C#m       Abm            E       Eb
The world goes around without even a sound
       Abm            C#       Abm
And it looks like the summer is over

     Abm         C#          Abm
The rains tumble down in the sky
      Abm           C#            Abm
Young swallows have learned how to fly
     C#m             Abm          E         Eb
The leaves that were green are no longer so green
        Abm           C#        Abm
And it looks like the summer is over

    E           F#        B            C#
The sun and the moon take turns in the sky
     E            F#        B
The days drift on by too soon
Bb7             Ebm         Ab7          C#m  
The meadows are kissed by a cool autumn mist
                 Eb
Far away now is June

     Abm       C#        Abm
The birds fly away to the sun
    Abm              C#            Abm
The leaves touch the ground one by one
     C#m          Abm         E     Eb
The breeze hurries by without even goodbye
       Abm            C#       Abm
And it looks like the summer is over

    E           F#        B            C#
The sun and the moon take turns in the sky
     E            F#        B
The days drift on by too soon
Bb7             Ebm         Ab7          C#m  
The meadows are kissed by a cool autumn mist
                 Eb
Far away now is June

     Abm       C#        Abm
The birds fly away to the sun
    Abm              C#            Abm
The leaves touch the ground one by one
     C#m          Abm         E     Eb
The breeze hurries by without even goodbye
       Abm            C#       Abm
And it looks like the summer is over

       Abm            C#       Abm
And it looks like the summer is over
