[E]Su[E/Eb]mmer, it came
[A]li[A]ke a light across the highlands
[E]an[E/Eb]d we [A]la[A]id it down.
[E]Yo[E/Eb]u wore a dress
[A]ma[A]de of light from the islands
[E]an[E/Eb]d we [A]se[A]nt postcards home.
E E/Eb A A x2
[E]In[E/Eb] dying light
[A]th[A]is was not to be forgotten
[E]?c[E/Eb]ause [A]we[A] are the chosen few.
[E]In[E/Eb]to th[A]e [A]sea with the touch of softest cotton
[E]Be[E/Eb]neath[A] t[A]his angel moon
[F#m]Its [B]been keeping me awake
[E]Le[E/Eb]aving[A] t[A]his behind was my first mistake

[E]to[E/Eb] be s[A]at[A]isfied by all the things I?ve done
[F#m]and the things it threw away.

[E]Su[E/Eb]mmer, it fell
