Don Henley – The Boys Of Summer (Guitar)

Em
   Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach.

C
  I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach.

D
Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone.

C
  I'm driving by your house, though I know you're not home.

G                 D
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.

                                     C
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby.

G                  D
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong

                  C
After the boys of summer have gone.

Em
   I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream.

C
  Remember how you made me crazy, remember how I made you scream.

D
  Now I don't understand what happened to our love.

C
But babe, I'm gonna get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of.

G             D
I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.

                               C
I see you walkin' real slow and smiling to everyone.

G                  D
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong

                  C
After the boys of summer have gone.

Em
   Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead Sticker on a Cadillac.

C
  A little voice inside my head said: "Don't look back, you can never look back."

D
  I thought I knew what love was. What did I know?

C
  Those days are gone forever, I should just let 'em go, but

G             D
I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.

                               C
You got the top pulled down and radio on, baby.

G                  D
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong

                  C
After the boys of summer have gone.

G             D
I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.

                                        C
You got your hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby.

G                  D
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong

                  C
After the boys of summer have gone.

G    D     D      C
