SUMMER (THE FIRST TIME) - Bobby Goldsboro Intro A|---2-0-4-2-7-6-| E|-2-------------| A/F# - E - B7 - A/F# - E - B7 A/F# It was a hot afternoon, E the last day of June, B7 and the sun was a demon. A/F# The clouds were afraid, E one ten in the shade, B7 and the pavement was steamin' A/F# I told Billy Ray E in his red Chevro- let, B7 I needed time for some thinkin'. A/F# I was just walking by E when I looked in her eye, B7 and I swore it was winkin'. 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 and wondered what the coming night would bring. B - F#madd11=2x A/F# The sun closed her eyes E as it climbed in the skies, B7 and it started to swelter. A/F# The sweat trickled down E the front of her gown, B7 I thought it would melt her. A/F# She threw back her hair E like I wasn't there, B7 she sipped on a Julep. A/F# Her shoulders were bare, E and I tried not to stare, B7 when I looked at her two lips. D Bm And when she looked at me, I heard her softly say, C#m7 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 and I will chase the boy in you a- way. B - F#madd11=2x F#m/D D/B And then she smiled, then we talked for a while, C#m7 F# and we walked for a mile to the sea. F#m/D D/B We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand, C#m7 F# but he saw the sun rise as a man. F#m/D - C#m7 - C#m7 - F# 2x B - F#madd11=2x A/F# Ten years have gone by E since I looked in her eyes, B7 but the memory lingers. A/F# I go back in my mind E to the very first time, B7 feel the touch of her fingers. A/F# It was a hot afternoon, E the last day of June, B7 and the sun was a demon...
