Boys Of Summer Chords

(ver. 1)
Don Henley
[Intro]

Em C D C


[Verse 1] 

Em                                          
   Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach.
 C                                                
   I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach.
   D                                                     
   Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone.  
 C
   I'm driving by your house, though I know your not home.


[Chorus]

G                         D
  But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
                                        C 
 You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby.
G                   D
  I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 
                   C
 After the boys of summer have gone.


[Verse 2]

Em   
   I never will forget those nights.
 C       
   I wonder if it was a dream.
 D         
  Remember how you made me crazy,
 C
  Remember how I made you scream.

Em 
  Now I don't understand what
  C       
  Happened to our love.
D    
  But, baby, when I get you back,
  C
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of.


[Chorus]

G                         D
  But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
                                       C 
I see you walking real slow, and you're smiling at everyone
G                    D
  I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 
            C
  After the boys of summer have gone.


[Bridge]

Em C C D C C D A C D C Em C D C


[Verse 3]

Em                          
   Out on the road today
          C
  I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillaxc
D   
  A little voice inside my head said:
  C 
 "Don't look back, you can never look back."

Em   
  I thought I knew what love was.
C   
  What did I know?
D 
  Those days are gone forever.
C   
  I should just let them go, but


[Chorus]
G                   D
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun
              C
  You got that top pulled down, and that radio on, baby
G                       D
  And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong,
                    C
  After the boys of summer have gone

G                   D
  But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
                                       C 
  You got your hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby.
G                   D
  I can tell you my love for you will still be strong 
                    C
  After the boys of summer have gone.
