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

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

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