      A                       D
I was in your presence for an hour or so

   E                     A
Or was it a day? I truly don’t know

          A                        D
Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low

        E                A
By that soft and shining sea

A                       D
 Did you respect me for what I did

E                                A
 Or for what I didn’t do, or for keeping it hid?

      A                   D
Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid

E                  A
 Of everything you see?
[Chorus]
       A          D E           A
In the summertime ... ah in the summertime

       A           D  E                  A
In the summertime ... when you were with me
[Interlude] | A D | E A | | A D | E A | [Verse 2]
A                    D
 I got the heart and you got the blood

   E                       A
We cut through iron and we cut through mud

A                               D
 Then came the warnin’ that was before the flood

E                   A
 That set everybody free

A                 D
Fools they made a mock of sin

E                 A
 Our loyalty they tried to win

A                                  D
 But you were closer to me than my next of kin

          E                      A
When they didn’t want to know or see
[Chorus]
       A          D E           A
In the summertime ... ah in the summertime

       A           D  E                  A
In the summertime ... when you were with me
[Interlude] | A D | E A | | A D | E A | [Verse 3]
A                          D
Strangers, they meddled in our affairs

E            A
 Poverty and shame was theirs

A                                  D
 But all that sufferin’ was not to be compared

         E                A
With the glory that is to be

A                           D
 And I’m still carrying the gift you gave

       E                         A
It’s a part of me now, it’s been cherished and saved

A                   D
 It’ll be with me unto the grave

E                    A
 And then unto eternity
[Chorus]
       A          D E           A
In the summertime ... ah in the summertime

       A           D  E                  A
In the summertime ... when you were with me
