Summer(The First Time.)Bobby Goldsboro. #18 in 1973. 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... A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
