C                     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.
    F         C    F  C  F
The whole day long
 
C                       G
 There were young girls everywhere
       F              C    G
On the summer side of life
     F          C
They talked all night
                           G
To the young men that they knew
       F              C    G
On the summer side of life
      F      C     E
Going off to fight
 
           Am  G    F   E
And if you saw them now
             Am  G      F
You'd wonder why they'd cry.
    F         C    F  C  F
The whole day long
 
C                     G
 He came down through fields of green
       F              C    G
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.
    F         C    F  C  F
The whole day long
