Verse 1:
C         E7             Am
She's been afraid of the Cuisinart

C               E7     Am
Since nine-teen seventy-seven

C         E7        Am
Now when she opens up the house

         E7                  F        
Well she won't set foot in the kitchen

C            E7          Am
Her brother's dating an architect

C             E7          Am
They're coming up for the weekend

C         E7         Am
He never gave her the proper respect

    E7                           F         
But she still meets the ferry to greet them
Chorus:
F          C             E7
Oh, at the summer place, we got the space

   Am             G
if you've got the time

F       C            G
At the summer place, its so far away

E7                      
It's another state of...

Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind 
Verse 2:
C       E7           Am
She ran away back in seventy eight

C            E7            Am
Just down the beach to the neighbor's

C              E7           Am
They brought her back after sunset

            E7                 F     
Her Dad said "Don't do me any favors"

C        E7        Am
Her Mom sat on the patio

C            E7         Am
She said she needed the sea air

C           E7        Am
She drank a fifth of Seagram's

               E7                F
And then she'd sink down into her deck chair
Chorus 2:
F          C             E7
Oh, at the summer place, we got the space

At the summer place, its so far away

Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind 
Bridge:
Am           E7
At fifteen, shop-lifting

C             F
Was the only game she liked to play

Am        E7         
At forty, she's so bored she

C               F
Thinks about it then decides to pay

Am             G
But still she can't help feeling

D/F#                                  G
Those good old days don't seem so far away

                   E7
(seem so far away) Just like yesterday
Verse 3:
C          E7         Am
She took a handful of mushrooms

C        E7         Am
That she got from a surfer

C           E7         Am
She spent a night in a hospital room

So the doctors could observe her

F          C
Oh, at the summer place

G                        E7            
the injuries fade but the memories last a life
