"The Summer Wind" by Hans Bradtke & Henry Mayer (English lyrics by Johnny Mercer)

Verse 1:

The [G]summer [GM7]wind came [Fdim]blowin' [E7]in a[Am7]cross the [D9]sea [D7]
It [Am]lingered [Eaug]there to [Am7]touch your [D9]hair and [GM7]walk with [G]me [G7]
All [Dm7]summer [G7]long we [Dm7]sang a [G7]song and [C]strolled in golden [F9]sand
[G]Two [Em]sweethearts [Am7] [D7]and the [GM7]summer wind [Am7] [D7]

Verse 2:

Like [G]painted [GM7]kites, the [Fdim]days and [E7]nights went [Am7]flying [D9]by [D7]
The [Am]world was [Eaug]new be[Am7]neath a [D9]blue um[GM7]brella [G]sky [G7]
Then [Dm7]softer [G7]than a [Dm7]piper [G7]man, one [C]day it called to [F9]you
[G]I [Em]lost you [Am7] [D7]to the [GM7]summer wind. [E7]

Verse 3:

The [A]autumn [AM7]wind, the [Gdim]winter [F#7]winds have [Bm7]come and [E9]gone [E7]
And [Bm]still the [F#aug]days, the [Bm7]lonely [E9]days, go [AM7]on and [A]on [A7]
And [Em7]guess who [A7]sighs his [Em7]lulla[A7]bies through [D]nights that never [Dm6]end
[A]My [F#m]fickle [Bm7] [E7]friend, the [AM7]summer wind [Bm7] [E7]

Ending:

The [A]summer wind [AM7] [Bm] [E7]
The [A]summer wind [AM7] [Bm] [E7] [A]
