Am     C
Ramblin' where to begin

Em                         G 
I taste the summer on your peppery skin

Am         C
Been saved the warmer the waves

Em                   G
I felt a slip into a watery grave
[Am C Em G](2x)
Am      C
My girl, linen and curls

Em                             G
Lips parting like a flag all unfurled

Am         C
She's grand the bend of her hand

Em                      G
Digging deep into the sweep of the sand
[Am C Em G](2x) [Chorus]
G      Am      Em                Am
Summer arrives with a length of lights

Em     Am     F
Summer blows away

C                G              Am     C     Em       G
And quietly gets swallowed by a wave

Am     C     Em       G                                 
It gets swallowed by a wave 
Waylay the din of the day Boats bobbing in the blue of the bay In deep far beneath all the dead sailors Slowly slipping to sleep My girl, linen and curls Lips parting like a flag all unfurled She's grand the bend of her hand Digging deep into the sweep of the sand Summer arrives with a length of lights Summer blows away And quietly gets swallowed by a wave It gets swallowed by a wave...
