[Verse 1]
A D
I was in your presence for an hour or so
E A
Or was it a day? I truly don’t know
A D
Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
E A
By that soft and shining sea
A D
Did you respect me for what I did
E A
Or for what I didn’t do, or for keeping it hid?
A D
Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid
E A
Of everything you see?
[Chorus]
A D E A
In the summertime ... ah in the summertime
A D E A
In the summertime ... when you were with me
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
A D
I got the heart and you got the blood
E A
We cut through iron and we cut through mud
A D
Then came the warnin’ that was before the flood
E A
That set everybody free
A D
Fools they made a mock of sin
E A
Our loyalty they tried to win
A D
But you were closer to me than my next of kin
E A
When they didn’t want to know or see
[Chorus]
A D E A
In the summertime ... ah in the summertime
A D E A
In the summertime ... when you were with me
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
A D
Strangers, they meddled in our affairs
E A
Poverty and shame was theirs
A D
But all that sufferin’ was not to be compared
E A
With the glory that is to be
A D
And I’m still carrying the gift you gave
E A
It’s a part of me now, it’s been cherished and saved
A D
It’ll be with me unto the grave
E A
And then unto eternity
[Chorus]
A D E A
In the summertime ... ah in the summertime
A D E A
In the summertime ... when you were with me
