Summer Of Drugs

Soul Asylum

 EABE
 Sister got bit by a copperhead snake in the woods behind the house
 EABE
 And nobody was home so I grabbed her foot and I sucked that poison out
 A
 Sister got better in a month or two when the swelling it went down
 EABE
But I started off my teenage years with a poison in my mouth

Chorus:
 AEAE
And we were too young to be hippies missed out on love
 AEEBA
 Return to our teen in the late seventies in a summer of the drugs

 EABE
 Mommy and Daddy could never understand that life was never cold
 EABE
 Their idea of a rollicking town was a kitchen tap appall
 A
 Acid, grass, downs and speed, junked us days were made of
 EABE
 How could they suspect those kids where the monsters eat their makers

Chorus:
 AEAE
And they were too young to be hippies missed out on love
 AE
We learned from the teens of the late seventies in a
 EBE
 Summer of the drugs

 F#D
 Boys and girls in every town
 F#C#
 Sandman spread his sand around
 F#BDC#B
 Now we are just waking up from a summer of drugs

 AEA
Hey hey (hey hey), woh woh (woh woh), uh-huh (uh-huh)
 EAE
Hey yeah (hey yeah), hey hey (hey hey), woh woh (woh woh)
 EBA
Oh yeah yeah yeah

 EABE
 Mommies and Daddies are too shy to talk about those birds and bees
 EABE
 Integrated schools had stopped, facts of life please
 A
 Girls and boys went away came back, empty after weekend
 EABE
The talk on the phone consisted of a hush, voices speaking

Chorus:
 AEAE
And they were too young to be hippies missed out on love
 AEEBE
Return to our teen in the late seventies in a summer of the drugs

 AE
And they were too young (too young)
 AE
And they were too fast (too fast)
 AEEBE
     Oh, the summer of drugs
