By Gordon Lightfoot [Intro] D D D D [Verse 1]
            D                  A      
Where the road run down by the butternut grove 

    D                  G
To old Bill Skinners stream

    D          G
Do tell at the noon day bell   

      A                      D
It’s time for a summertime dream  
[Verse 2]
       D                  A      
In a lunch pail town in a one horse way

     D                         G
You can live like a king and queen

    D                  G
Lets steal away in the noon day sun

      A                      D
It’s time for a summertime dream  
[Chorus 1]
Bm                             D
Birds in all creation will be twitterin in the trees

    Bm
And down below a pond I know 

    D                     A 
You can swim in it if you please
[Verse 3]
       D                       A
And if you come round when the mill shuts down 

     D                     G
You can see what chivalry means   

      D                  G
Let’s steal away in the noon day sun  

      A                      D
It’s time for a summertime dream   
[Solo] D A D G D G A D [Chorus 2]
      Bm                             D
On a trip on down to wonderland, in love among the flowers

    Bm
Where time gets lost with no straw boss

   D                 A 
Tallying it up for hours
[Verse 4]
           D                   A      
Where the road run down by the butternut grove 

   D                   G
To old Bill Skinners stream

D                G
  Do tell at the noon day bell   

      A                      D
It’s time for a summertime dream  
[Solo] D A D G D G A D [Chorus 3]
Bm                            D
Birds in all creation will be twitterin in the trees

     Bm
And down below a pond I know 

         D                  A 
You can swim in it if you please
[Verse 3]
       D                       A
So if you come round when the mill shuts down 

     D                     G
You can see what chivalry means   

      D                  G
Let’s steal away in the noon day sun  

      A                      D
It’s time for a summertime dream   
[Solo] D A D G
D G A                         D  
    time for a summer time dream
D A D G
D G A                         D  
    time for a summer time dream
