Summer The First Time

(início)

INTRO:  B A E B
#1.
B        A                  E
It was a hot afternoon, the last day of June,
         B         F#m     B F#m
and  the sun was a demon.
    A                       E
The clouds were afraid, one ten in the shade,
        B            F#m      B F#m
and the pavement was steamin'.
#2.
  A                     E
I told Billy Ray in his red Chevrolet,
         B             F#m      B F#m
I needed time for some thinkin'.
      A                      E
I was just walking by when I looked in her eye,
      B            F#m      B  F#m
and I swore it was winkin'.
CHORUS:
D                             Bm
She was thirty-one, and I was seventeen,
C#m                                 F#m
I knew nothing about love, she knew everything.
    D                             Bm
But I sat down beside her on that front porch swing,
    C#7                                  F#m   B
and wondered what the coming night would bring.
#3.
    A                         E
The sun closed her eyes as it climbed in the skies,
       B          F#m     B F#m
and it started to swelter.
    A                       E
The sweat trickled down the front of her gown,
  B                F#m      B F#m
I thought it would melt her.
#4.
    A                        E
She threw back her hair like I wasn't there,
    B           F#m    B F#m
she sipped on a Julep.
    A                          E
Her shoulders were bare, and I tried not to stare,
       B             F#m       B F#m
when I looked at her two lips.
CHORUS:#2:
    D                                  Bm
And when she looked at me, I heard her softly say,
   C#m                                       F#m
'I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say.
    D                              Bm
But stay with me until the sun has gone away,
    C#7                         F#m   B F#m   B F#m   B
and I will chase the boy in you away.
F#m                          D
And then she smiled, then we talked for a while,
       C#m                      F#
and we walked for a mile to the sea.
   F#m                      D
We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand,
       C#m                   F#
but he saw the sun rise as a man.
D  Bm  C#7  F#m (x2)  B
#5.
    A                        E
Ten years have gone by since I looked in her eyes,
        B      F#m      B  F#m
but the memory lingers.
     A                      E
I go back in my mind to the very first time,
         B            F#m      B F#m
feel the touch of her fingers.
OUTRO:
         A                  E
It was a hot afternoon, the last day of June,
        B         F#m      B  F#m
and the sun was a demon...
