[Verse 1]
Bm9 Em7
Somewhere up there
Bm9 Em7
In the high mountain air
Bm9 Em7
Is the girl that I
D Gmaj7 D D
Would have married
[Verse 2]
Bm9 Em7
But the summer was too long
Bm9 Em7
And the ocean was too wide
D Em7
And the burden too heavy
D Gmaj7 D D
To be carried
[Verse 3]
Bm9 Em7
In the fall when things were new
Bm9 Em7
We walked out and wandered through
Bm9 Em7
And a word set my restless mind
D Gmaj7 D D
To dreaming
[Verse 4]
Bm9 Em7
When her soft warm caress
Bm9 Em7
Made the hours stop and rest
D Em7
I wondered if it was...
D
But it was semen
[Verse 5]
Bm9 Em7
But the summer was too long
Bm9 Em7
And the ocean was too wide
Bm9 Em7
And our dreams too heavy
D Gmaj7 D D
To be carried
[Verse 6]
Bm9 Em7
In those quiet Autumn days
Bm9 Em7
Sitting in some small cafe
D Em7
Our worths they were set
D Gmaj7 D D
To each other
[Verse 7]
Bm9 Em7
Here then when late afternoon
Bm9 Em7
Casted shadows across the room
Bm9 Em7
We’d walk back down the road
D Gmaj7 D D
Together
[Verse 8]
Bm9 Em7
In the winter of the year
Bm9 Em7
Through the snow you would appear
D Em7
And we lay around and laughing times
D
Were easy
[Verse 9]
Bm9 Em7
But our words were deaf and blind
Bm9 Em7
To the coming summertime
Bm9 Em7
Even though we knew inside
D
It was-a coming
[Verse 10]
Bm9 Em7
And in the spring when it was warm
Bm9
I would hold your suntanned arm
Em7
And we’d walk across the grass just
D
Feeling lazy
[Verse 11]
Bm9 Em7
But our nights had just begun
Bm9 Em7
To be worried restless ones
Bm9 Em7
At the thoughts of the summer we
D
Were happy
[Verse 12]
Bm9 Em7
When you’re young you likely seem
Bm9 Em7
Like an endless happy dream
Bm9 Em7
But your choices aren’t always yours
D
For making
[Verse 13]
Bm9 Em7
So I sail across the mist
Bm9 Em7
With a promise and a kiss
Bm9 Em7
And I saw her face in every wave
D
That’s breaking
[Verse 14]
Bm9 Em7
And the summer was too long
Bm9 Em7
And the ocean was too wide
D Em7
And the burden too heavy
D Gmaj7 D D
To be carried
[Verse 15]
Bm9 Em7
Well I’ve seen her lots of times
Bm9 Em7
Since that summer all arrived
Bm9 Em7
And I know that what we used to have
D
Is over
[Verse 16]
Bm9 Em7
But somehow I can’t be sad
Bm9 Em7
Thinking about the times we had
D Em7
It was love and I'll remember it
D
Forever
[Verse 17]
Bm9 Em7
And somewhere up there
Bm9 Em7
In the high mountain air
Bm9 Em7
Is the girl that I
D Gmaj7 D D
Would have married
[Verse 18]
Bm9 Em7
But the summer was too long
Bm9 Em7
And the ocean was too wide
Bm9 Em7
And the burden too heavy
D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7 D Gmaj7
To be carried
