xc G
he came down through fields of green
F C G
on the summer side of life
F C
his love was ripe
G
there were no illusions
F C G
on the summer side of life
F C E
only tenderness

Am G F E
and if you saw him now
Am G F
you D wonder why he D cry
C F C F
the whole day long

C G
there were young girls everywhere
F C G
on the summer side of life

the talked all night

to the young men that they knew
F C G

Am G F E

C F C F
the whole day long

C G
he came down through fields of green
F C
on the summer side of life
F C
he prayed all night
G
then he walked into a house
F C G
where love had been misplaced
F C E
his chance to waste

Am G F E
and if you saw him now
Am G F
you D wonder why he D cry
C F C F
the whole day long
