Oh man this jive gets me in a trance

Summertime, low on A

Summertime, a little different and a little more. It sounds low and
easy on an A harp. A great number this, you can add bends as you like,
and stretch the intonation with a few added words.

-5 -6b -6 -7 -6 -6 -6b -6b -5 -5
They say that these are not the best of times,

5 -5b 5 5 -4 -4 4 4 -5 5
But they’re the on-ly times i’ve ev-er known,

-5 -6b -6 -7 -6 -6 -6b -6b -5
And I be-lieve there is a time for

-5 5 -5b 5 -6b 5 -5b 4 4 -5 -5b
med-i-ta-tion in ca-the-drals of our own.

Verse 2

-5 -5b -6 -7 -6 -6 -6b -6b -5
Now I have seen that sad sur-ren-der

-5 -6b -5 -5b -5b
in my lov-er’s eyes,

7 7 -7 -6 -6b -6 -6b -6 -6b -6b -5 -5
And I can on-ly stand a-part and sym-pa-thize.

-5 -6b -6 -7 -6 -6 -6b

sit-u-a-tions hand us

-5b 5 -6b -6b -5 -6b -5b -5b 4 4
It’s eith-er sad-ness or eu-phor-i-a

VERSE 2 same as 1
So we’ll argue and we compromise,
And realize that nothing’s ever changed,
For all our mutual experience our separate
conclusions are the same.

Verse 4 same as 2
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity,
Our reason co-exists with our insanity.
And though we choose between reality and madness…
It’s either sadness or euphoria.

VERSE 5 same as 2
How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don’t fulfill each other’s fantasies.
And so we’ll stand upon the ledges of our lives,
With our respective similarities…
It’s either sadness or euphoria

Summer Wind (Chromatic)

W: Johnny Mercer

The sum-mer wind, came blow-ing in
-3* -6 7 7 -3* -6 7 7
a-cross the sea
-3* 7 7* -6
It lin-gered there, to touch your hair
-3* 7 7* 7* -3* 7 7* 7*
and walk with me
7* 7* -7* 7
All sum-mer long, we sang a song
-5* -7 -7* -7* -5* -7 -7* -7*
and strolled the gold-en sand
8 -7* 7* 7* 7 -6
Two sweet-hearts, and the sum-mer wind

Like paint-ed kites, the days and nights

The world was new, be-neath a blue
-3* 7 7* 7* -3* 7 7* 7*
um-brel-la sky
7* 7* -7* 7
Then soft-er than, a pip-er man
-5* -7 -7* -7* -5* -7-7* -7*
one day it called to you
8 -7* 7* 7* 7 -6
I lost you, to the sum-mer wind
7 -7* 7* -6 -6 -6 -5* -5*
The aut-umn wind, the win-ter winds
-3* -6 7 7 -3* -6 7 7
have come and gone
-3* 7 7* -6
And still the days, the lone-ly days
-3* 7 7* 7* -3* 7 7* 7*
go on and on
7* 7* -7* 7
And guess who sighs his lull-a-bies
-5* -7 -7* -7* -5* -7 -7* -7*
through nights that nev-er end
8 -7* 7* 7* 7 -6
My fick-le friend, the sum-mer wind

Summer Skeletons

5 -4 4 5 6 -6 6 5
We were sun-burned and shoeless kids
5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4
It was the dead of July
5 6 -6 6 5 -4 4 -4 5 5
We were skippin’ stones in the failing light
7 7 7 7 -7 -6 5
I smelled the fire place
5 -6 -7 7 -7 6 -4 5
Although we were miles away
5 6 -6 6 5
We were infinite
5 5 5 -4 4 -4
There was no time in those days

-8 -8 -8 8 -7 -6 -7 -6 6
When all we knew wasn’t stolen
6 6 6 6 6 -7 -8
There was nothing real to lose
-8 -8 -8 8 -7 -6 -7 -6 6
When our heads were still simple
6 6 6 6 -7 -8
We’d sleep beneath the moon
-8 -8 -8 8
You were something
8 8 -9 10 -9 9 9 -8 8 -7
That would always be around
-7 -7 -7 -6 -7 7 6 -5 5
When regrets were nowhere to be found

4 5 6 -6 6 5
Lost out among the trees
5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4
Our hands scraped the bark
5 5 6 -6 6 5
You still had bloody knees
-4 4 -4 5 5 5
From your spill in the dark
7 7 7 7 -7 -6
We were both laughing then
5 -6 -7 7 -7 6 -4 5
While carving bad words in the wood
5 5 6 -6 6 5
We had no need to speak

5, -5 -5 -5 5
Night, down by the shore
4 4 -5 -5 6 5
We were down by the shore
4 4 -5 -5 -5 5
When the skies opened up
4 4 3 3 5 5 -4 4 4
And all the stars fell into the lake
5 4 -5 -5 -5 5
When the water was warm
4 4 -5 -5 6 5
Walked in over my head
4 -5 -5 -5 5 4 3 3 5 -4 4 4
But you pulled me out by the collar of my shirt

4 -3 4 4, 4 -4 5 -3
Dirt in our ears, sun in our eyes
5 -4 4 -2, -2 -3 4 -3
Shirts hung in rags, head in the clouds
4 -3 4 4, 4 4 -4 5 -3
Our fears had no teeth, hearts were still blind
5 -4 4 -2 -2 -2 -3 4 -3
You barely talked and I didn’t mind




Summer Samba (So Nice)

By Marcos Valle & Paulo Sergio Valle
Key: F

-3 4 -5 6 -5* -5
Some-one to hold me tight
-3 4 -5 6 -5* -5
That would be ve-ry nice
-3 4 -5 6 -5* -5
Some-one to love me right
3* 4 -5 6 -5* -5
That would be ve-ry nice
-5 -6 7 -7 7* 7
Some-one to un-der-stand
-5 -6 7 -7 7* 7
Each lit-tle dream in me
5* -6 7 -7 7* 7
Some-one to take my hand
5* -6 7 -7 7* 7
To be a team with me

8 5 -9* -9 8 -7* -7
So nice, life would be so nice
8 -8 -7* -7 7
If one day I’d find
-7 7* 7 -7* -6 -5 -6
Some-one who would take my hand
-5 -6 -5 -6 7* -6 7
And sam-ba thru life with me

-3 4 -5 6 -5* -5
Some-one to cling to me
-3 4 -5 6 -5* -5
Stay with me right or wrong
-3 4 -5 6 -5* -5
Some-one to sing to me
3* 4 -5 6 -5* -5
Some lit-tle sam-ba song
-5 -6 7 -7 7* 7
Some-one to take my heart
-5 -6 7 -7 7* 7
And give his heart to me
5* -6 7 -7 7* 7
Some-one who’s read-y to
5* -6 7 -7 7* 7
Give love a start with me

8 5 -9* -9 8 -7* -7
Oh yeah, that would be so nice
7 -6* -6 -6 -6* 7
Should it be you and me,
7 -6* -6 -6 -6* 7 -6
I could see that would be nice

Verse 3 (same as 1 an 2. To fade)

Verse 2
Ain’t no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
Spent my eveninings down at the drive-in
And that’s when I met you

Standing on your mama’s porch
You told me that you’d wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of ’69

Bridge

Man we were killing time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever – forever, no

verse 3
And now the times are changing
Look at everything that’s come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you wonder what went wrong

Standing on your mama’s porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of ’69
