[Verse 1]
Dm9 Gm7
Somewhere up there
Dm9 Gm7
In the high mountain air
Dm9 Gm7
Is the girl that I
F A#maj7 F F
Would have married
[Verse 2]
Dm9 Gm7
But the summer was too long
Dm9 Gm7
And the ocean was too wide
F Gm7
And the burden too heavy
F A#maj7 F F
To be carried
[Verse 3]
Dm9 Gm7
In the fall when things were new
Dm9 Gm7
We walked out and wandered through
Dm9 Gm7
And a word set my restless mind
F A#maj7 F F
To dreaming
[Verse 4]
Dm9 Gm7
When her soft warm caress
Dm9 Gm7
Made the hours stop and rest
F Gm7
I wondered if it was...
F
But it was semen
[Verse 5]
Dm9 Gm7
But the summer was too long
Dm9 Gm7
And the ocean was too wide
Dm9 Gm7
And our dreams too heavy
F A#maj7 F F
To be carried
[Verse 6]
Dm9 Gm7
In those quiet Autumn days
Dm9 Gm7
Sitting in some small cafe
F Gm7
Our worths they were set
F A#maj7 F F
To each other
[Verse 7]
Dm9 Gm7
Here then when late afternoon
Dm9 Gm7
Casted shadows across the room
Dm9 Gm7
We’d walk back down the road
F A#maj7 F F
Together
[Verse 8]
Dm9 Gm7
In the winter of the year
Dm9 Gm7
Through the snow you would appear
F Gm7
And we lay around and laughing times
F
Were easy
[Verse 9]
Dm9 Gm7
But our words were deaf and blind
Dm9 Gm7
To the coming summertime
Dm9 Gm7
Even though we knew inside
F
It was-a coming
[Verse 10]
Dm9 Gm7
And in the spring when it was warm
Dm9
I would hold your suntanned arm
Gm7
And we’d walk across the grass just
F
Feeling lazy
[Verse 11]
Dm9 Gm7
But our nights had just begun
Dm9 Gm7
To be worried restless ones
Dm9 Gm7
At the thoughts of the summer we
F
Were happy
[Verse 12]
Dm9 Gm7
When you’re young you likely seem
Dm9 Gm7
Like an endless happy dream
Dm9 Gm7
But your choices aren’t always yours
F
For making
[Verse 13]
Dm9 Gm7
So I sail across the mist
Dm9 Gm7
With a promise and a kiss
Dm9 Gm7
And I saw her face in every wave
F
That’s breaking
[Verse 14]
Dm9 Gm7
And the summer was too long
Dm9 Gm7
And the ocean was too wide
F Gm7
And the burden too heavy
F A#maj7 F F
To be carried
[Verse 15]
Dm9 Gm7
Well I’ve seen her lots of times
Dm9 Gm7
Since that summer all arrived
Dm9 Gm7
And I know that what we used to have
F
Is over
[Verse 16]
Dm9 Gm7
But somehow I can’t be sad
Dm9 Gm7
Thinking about the times we had
F Gm7
It was love and I'll remember it
F
Forever
[Verse 17]
Dm9 Gm7
And somewhere up there
Dm9 Gm7
In the high mountain air
Dm9 Gm7
Is the girl that I
F A#maj7 F F
Would have married
[Verse 18]
Dm9 Gm7
But the summer was too long
Dm9 Gm7
And the ocean was too wide
Dm9 Gm7
And the burden too heavy
F A#maj7 F A#maj7 F A#maj7
To be carried
