On the (F) summer side of (C) life
(G) His (F) love was (C) ripe
There were no il(G)lusions
On the (F) summer side of (C) life
(G) Only (F) tender(C)ness

(E7sus) You'd (E7) wonder (Am) why (C/G) (F) he would cry
The whole day (C) long (Fmaj7) (C) (Fmaj7)

There were young girls everywhere
On the summer side of life
They talked all night
To the young men that they knew
On the summer side of life
Going off to fight

And if you saw them now
You'd wonder why they would cry
The whole day long

He came down through fields of green
On the summer side of life
He prayed all night
Then he walked into a house
Where love had been misplaced
His chance to waste

And if you saw him now
You'd wonder why he would cry
The whole day long
