Artists: Lyle Lovett, Frank Sinatra
Written by Johnny Mercer
Trnscribed by Bob Colladay


[C]The summer wind came blowing in a[G7]cross the sea,

It lingered there to touch your hair and [C]walk with me.

[C7]All summer long we sang a song and [F]strolled the golden [Fm]sand.

[C]Two sweethearts [G7] and [C] the summer wind.        [A7]


[D]Like painted kites the days and nights went [A7]flying by.

The world was new beneath a blue um[D]brella sky.

Then, [D7]softer than a piper man

One [G]day it called to [Gm]you.

[D]   I lost you [A7] to the [D] summer wind.         [B7]


[E]The autumn wind, the winter winds

Have [B7]come and gone

And still the days, the lonely days

Go [E] on and on

And [E7]guess who sighs his lullabies

Through [A]nights that never [Am] end.

[E]  My fick-le  [B7] friend, [E] the summer wind,

[E]The summer wind, [E]the summer wind.

____________________

Frank sang it in E-F#-G#  Lyle does Eb-F-G This is a little easier for me at
C-D-E.  For fun try in fast in cut time it sounds pretty good but it makes a
very short song.
