Summer(The First Time.)Bobby Goldsboro.
INTRO: B A E B
[B]It was a [A]hot afternoon, the [E]last day of June,
and the [B]sun was a [F#m]demon. [B] [F#m]
The [A]clouds were afraid, one [E]ten in the shade,
and the [B]pavement was [F#m]steamin'.[B] [F#m]
I [A]told Billy Ray in his [E]red Chevrolet,
I needed [B]time for some [F#m]thinkin'.[B] [F#m]
I was [A]just walking by when I [E]looked in her eye,
and I [B]swore it was [F#m]winkin'. [B] [F#m]
CHORUS:
[D]She was thirty-one, and I was [Bm]seventeen,
[C#m]I knew nothing about love, she knew [F#m]everything.
But [D]I sat down beside her on that [Bm]front porch swing,
and [C#7]wondered what the coming night would [F#m]bring.[B]
The [A]sun closed her eyes as it [E]climbed in the skies,
and it [B]started to [F#m]swelter.[B] [F#m]
The [A]sweat trickled down the [E]front of her gown,
I [B]thought it would [F#m]melt her.[B] [F#m]
She [A]threw back her hair like [E]I wasn't there,
she [B]sipped on a [F#m]Julep. [B] [F#m]
Her [A]shoulders were bare, and I [E]tried not to stare,
when I [B]looked at her [F#m]two lips. [B] [F#m]
CHORUS:#2:
And [D]when she looked at me, I heard her [Bm]softly say,
'I [C#m]know you're young, you don't know what to [F#m]do or say.
But [D]stay with me until the sun has [Bm]gone away,
and [C#7]I will chase the boy in you [F#m]away. [B] [F#m] [B] [F#m] [B]
[F#m]And then she smiled, then we [D]talked for a while,
and we [C#m]walked for a mile to the [F#]sea.
We [F#m]sat on the sand, and the [D]boy took her hand,
but he [C#m]saw the sun rise as a [F#]man.
D Bm C#7 F#m (x2) B
Ten [A]years have gone by since [E]I looked in her eyes,
but the [B]memory [F#m]lingers. [B] [F#m]
I go [A]back in my mind to the [E]very first time,
feel the [B]touch of her [F#m]fingers. [B] [F#m]
OUTRO:
It was a [A]hot afternoon, the [E]last day of June,
and the [B]sun was a [F#m]demon... [B] [F#m]
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
