Walking Barefoot Ukulele

(ver. 1)
A Shell In The Pit
[Verse 1]
     C
Your beauty took my breath away,
    Am  D   G
in awe all day
      C
Your company was so relaxing,
      Am  D  G
easy-going ways
   C
We saw the first signs of summer and
  Am    D     G
spring-time change
        C
Walking barefoot along the sand,
            Am   D   G
I hadn't planned to stay

[Chorus]
     D
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot
     C   G
all summer
Am                   
It'll be sad, my friend,
    C                
to see it come to an end
         Am   D   G
Why can't we just quit?

[Interlude] (x2)
Am D C G 

[Verse 2]
C
You were broke all summer,
     Am   D    G
but you still sing
           C
Don't need money when it's sunny,
           Am D G
don't need anything
           C
Just need music and sun and laughter
        Am D G
and no currency,
 C
The sun on your bare shoulders,
          Am    D     G
yeah, it comes for free

[Chorus]
     D
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot
     C   G
all summer
Am                   
It'll be sad, my friend,
    C                
to see it come to an end
         Am   D   G
Why can't we just quit?
      D
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot
     C  G
all summer
Am                    
Why can't we just design
    C
to live like this all the time?
         Am  D    G
Why can't we just quit?

[Interlude] (x2)
Am D C G 

[Verse 3]
C
Sand ran through my fingers
         Am   D   G
and the land was hot
C
Anointed by Apollo
        Am D G
and his chariot
C
Disarmed by your charm,
              Am  D   G
that night I felt it again
C
Addictive and consuming,
 Am      D    G
love's sweet pain

[Chorus]
     D
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot
     C   G
all summer
Am                   
It'll be sad, my friend,
    C                
to see it come to an end
         Am   D   G
Why can't we just quit?

[Bridge]
D
Our days are as the wind blows us,
G
we are free
         C
We've a quiet life out of town
    Am   D  G
of coastal ease
D
The wind, it has no pattern,
G
we take life slow
      C
And when the night has fallen
        Am    D
our cup overflows

[Verse 4]
Am 
When the summer's gone
and the room is cold
Am 
When you're looking at the rain
and it just wont go
C 
Remember when the sun was high,
Am D  G
up above?
C
Remember when the days were long
        Am  D   G
and we were in love?

[Chorus]
     D
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot
     C   G
all summer
Am                   
It'll be sad, my friend,
    C                
to see it come to an end
         Am   D   G
Why can't we just quit?
      D
Yeah, we've been walking barefoot
     C  G
all summer
Am                    
Why can't we just design
    C
to live like this all the time?
         Am  D    G
Why can't we just quit?

[Outro] (x4)
Am D C G
