C                     G
 He came down through fields of green

       F              C    G
On the summer side of life

    F        C
His love was ripe

                G
There were no illusions

       F              C    G
On the summer side of life

     F     C    E
Only tenderness

           Am  G   F   E
And if you saw him now

             Am  G    F        
You'd wonder why he'd cry.

    F         C    F  C  F
The whole day long

C                       G
 There were young girls everywhere

       F              C    G
On the summer side of life

     F          C
They talked all night

                           G
To the young men that they knew

       F              C    G
On the summer side of life

      F      C     E
Going off to fight

           Am  G    F   E
And if you saw them now

             Am  G      F
You'd wonder why they'd cry.

C                     G
 He came down through fields of green

       F              C    G
On the summer side of life

   F          C
He prayed all night

                      G
Then he walked into a house

      F                C      G
Where love had been misplaced

    F         C     E
His chance to waste

           Am  G   F   E
And if you saw him now

             Am  G    F        
You'd wonder why he'd cry.
