| All summer long we sang a song and | strolled the golden | sand. |

| Two sweethearts | and | the summer wind. |

| Like painted kites the days and nights went | flying by. |
| D | |
| The world was new beneath a blue um | brella sky. |

| Then, | softer than a piper man |
| G | Gm | |
| One | day it called to | you. |

| I lost you | to the | summer wind. |
| E | |
| The autumn wind, the winter winds |
| B7 | |
| Have | come and gone |
| And still the days, the lonely days |
| E | |
| Go | on and on |
| E7 | |
| And | guess who sighs his lullabies |
| A | Am | |
| Through | nights that never | end. |
| E | B7 | E | |
| My fick-le | friend, | the summer wind, |
| E | E | |
| The summer wind, | the summer wind. |
