People come to see you
D
When you don’t wake up
DGD
In the summertime
DG
We get so high
DG
We get so high
DA
Why you sleeping in
A
On this lovely summer morning?
G
Sun it is shining
GD
Oh it is shining
D
People come and tell me
D
It’s a pretty dress
DGD
That I picked for you to wear
D
Come and ask me how your makeup looks so fresh
DGD
And the way they did your hair
DGD
They kiss your eyes
DGDA
They kiss your eyes and touch your hand
AG
And the lilac flowers laying by your feet
GD
Remind me of those shoes you used to wear
DGD
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh
D
I come see you in the summertime
DGD
Don’t know if you know I’m there
D
Bring you lots of flowers in the summertime
DGD
Picture flowers in your hair
DG
I lay them down
DG
Cover the ground
DA
With the colors I remember that you loved
A
That summer
G
Back when we were twenty
G
When we were twenty
GD
When we were twenty-one
