Summers Almost Over Chords

(ver. 1)
Cheryl Wheeler
CAPO: 3rd Fret


INTRO: G   Am   G

                             Am                       C    
Summer's almost over and I'm crying, but I don't know why
G                     Am                          C    
Sentimental old fool, weeping for this blue, blue sky
        D                               C
And the way the cat is sleeping and the way the garden grew
D                                     C                      D
Wagging dogs who lick my face and the way I feel for you


G                               Am                        C    
Paddling in the kayaks, with my sister, through the quiet creek
G                           Am                   C    
Moon upon the water and the river breeze upon my cheek
        D                               C
And the way my father shuffles with his courage and his cane
        D                                    C                      D
And the way September bluffs and feints 'til autumn falls again


G                            Am                       C     G  Am  G  D
Summer's almost over and I'm crying, but I don't know why


  G                           Am                C    
A party for my birthday and a tractor for my 50 years
G                                     Am                      C 
Swallows at their bird play, spin and dive above the new mown fields
      D                        C
And a week in Colorado reading books with my best friend
        D                              C                    D
And the thing I knew I couldn't do and now I know I can


          G                               Am                    C    
Who could help but welcome autumn and the promise of the winter snows?
              G                                Am                       C
Still there's something sweet and wistful as I watch this lovely summer go
        D                             C
But the sun is sinking sooner and the weeds have won at last
         D                             C                        
With the berries on the bushes and the crickets in the grass


INTERLUDE: D   C   D   C  G   C  G   C  G  D  


G                            Am                       C 
Summer's almost over and I'm crying, but I don't know why
