Summer The First Time

Intro 
F C G G x2 

 
     F                     C 
Was a hot afternoon, the last day of June 
     G                 G 
The sun was a demon 
       F                  C 
The clouds were afraid, 110 in the shade 
            G                   G 
And the pavement was steaming 
  F                    C 
I told Ellie May in a red Chevrolet 
                G                  G 
I needed some time for thinking 
       F                      C 
I was just passing by when I caught your lil' eye 
       G                    G 
And I swore it was winking 



 A#                        Gm7 
You were thirty-one, I was seventeen 
 Am                                 Dm 
I knew nothing 'bout love, you knew everything 
      A#                       Gm7 
But I sat down beside you on a front porch swing 
A7                             Dm 
Wondering what the coming night would bring 
                      C 
What would it bring? 
    G 
Hey, oh, Lord 

 
    F                          C 
The sun closed your eyes as it climbed in the sky 
       G                    G 
And it started to swelter 
    F                        C 
The sweat trickled down the front of my gown 
   G                         G 
I thought it would melt me 
   F                     C 
I threw back my hair like you weren't there 
       G                         G 
And you sipped on your coco beer 
    G7                       C 
My shoulders were bare, you tried not to stare 
G                                  G 
But your look, it was so sincere 


     A#maj7                         Gm7 
When you looked at me, I heard you softly say 
Am                                   Dm 
"I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say 
      A#maj7                 Gm7 
"Just stay with me until the sun has gone away 
     A                            Dm 
"And I will chase the girl in you away 
                  C                  G 
"I'll chase it away, I'll chase the girl away" (oh) 


Dm         A              Am 
  Then you smiled, we talked for a while 
    D 
We walked for a mile, just you and me 
A#maj7            Gm 
 We sat on the park, on the grass in the dark 
Am7                                 D 
  And I saw the sunrise, I became a woman 


                       A# 
Do you understand that ten years has gone by 
Gm 
Since I saw the look in your eye? 
        Am                D 
But the memory, oh, still lingers 
      A#maj7                Gm 
I go back in my mind to the very first time 
A                        Dm 
I felt the touch of your fingers 
                C          G 
I felt the touch of your fingers 

Oh, I felt the touch, babe 
              C         G 
'Cause I did now 



F                 C 
There's also the bad times 
                               G 
That you and I both remember 
          G 
And through it all, we both know that
