Sons Of Summer - from Playing Possum 1975
Em
It makes me smile

    G                  C
To think of what we dreamed of

F
Where are those sons of summer now
With their wild-haired women in their patchwork gowns
      C
Who could laugh the lights away

                     G       
Nights on the beach and bay
F
Am    
The course on farms

C 
And the course in the bar

  Em                  F
Sweet smokin' in the back of the car

Am                      C                      Em     F
Always the first time shines to last like a morning star

Em              F
Like a morning star

Em                           G                 C
It's been a while since the last time we were dancing

F 
Where are those sons of summer now
With their long-limbed ladies who all knew how
     C 
To chase the blues away

               G
I've got the blues today
F
Am                            C
Your ivy days and your clubhouse ways

Em                         F
Wine mug nights when the music played

Am                          C                  Em    F
Love that is real will not fade away like a morning star

           Em    F      
Like a morning star
C
F
Where are those sons of summer now
The winter has come
                            C
And you don't know how to turn your
Dreams into coal
                  G
Your books won't hold you
F
Am          
The woods get cold

        C
And I feel too old

Em                              F
I begin to questioning your schoolboy soul

Am                        C
Clever remarks that once won my heart

           Em
When the fire won't light

            F
Will they lose their spark

    C                                   F
And I can't help but get a little bit blue

C                                             F
Thinking about the precious nothing we once knew
C F
