[Verse 1]
Em9 Am7
Somewhere up there
Em9 Am7
In the high mountain air
Em9 Am7
Is the girl that I
G Cmaj7 G G
Would have married
[Verse 2]
Em9 Am7
But the summer was too long
Em9 Am7
And the ocean was too wide
G Am7
And the burden too heavy
G Cmaj7 G G
To be carried
[Verse 3]
Em9 Am7
In the fall when things were new
Em9 Am7
We walked out and wandered through
Em9 Am7
And a word set my restless mind
G Cmaj7 G G
To dreaming
[Verse 4]
Em9 Am7
When her soft warm caress
Em9 Am7
Made the hours stop and rest
G Am7
I wondered if it was...
G
But it was semen
[Verse 5]
Em9 Am7
But the summer was too long
Em9 Am7
And the ocean was too wide
Em9 Am7
And our dreams too heavy
G Cmaj7 G G
To be carried
[Verse 6]
Em9 Am7
In those quiet Autumn days
Em9 Am7
Sitting in some small cafe
G Am7
Our worths they were set
G Cmaj7 G G
To each other
[Verse 7]
Em9 Am7
Here then when late afternoon
Em9 Am7
Casted shadows across the room
Em9 Am7
We’d walk back down the road
G Cmaj7 G G
Together
[Verse 8]
Em9 Am7
In the winter of the year
Em9 Am7
Through the snow you would appear
G Am7
And we lay around and laughing times
G
Were easy
[Verse 9]
Em9 Am7
But our words were deaf and blind
Em9 Am7
To the coming summertime
Em9 Am7
Even though we knew inside
G
It was-a coming
[Verse 10]
Em9 Am7
And in the spring when it was warm
Em9
I would hold your suntanned arm
Am7
And we’d walk across the grass just
G
Feeling lazy
[Verse 11]
Em9 Am7
But our nights had just begun
Em9 Am7
To be worried restless ones
Em9 Am7
At the thoughts of the summer we
G
Were happy
[Verse 12]
Em9 Am7
When you’re young you likely seem
Em9 Am7
Like an endless happy dream
Em9 Am7
But your choices aren’t always yours
G
For making
[Verse 13]
Em9 Am7
So I sail across the mist
Em9 Am7
With a promise and a kiss
Em9 Am7
And I saw her face in every wave
G
That’s breaking
[Verse 14]
Em9 Am7
And the summer was too long
Em9 Am7
And the ocean was too wide
G Am7
And the burden too heavy
G Cmaj7 G G
To be carried
[Verse 15]
Em9 Am7
Well I’ve seen her lots of times
Em9 Am7
Since that summer all arrived
Em9 Am7
And I know that what we used to have
G
Is over
[Verse 16]
Em9 Am7
But somehow I can’t be sad
Em9 Am7
Thinking about the times we had
G Am7
It was love and I'll remember it
G
Forever
[Verse 17]
Em9 Am7
And somewhere up there
Em9 Am7
In the high mountain air
Em9 Am7
Is the girl that I
G Cmaj7 G G
Would have married
[Verse 18]
Em9 Am7
But the summer was too long
Em9 Am7
And the ocean was too wide
Em9 Am7
And the burden too heavy
G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7
To be carried
