Summer Wine
Words & Music by Lee HazlewoodRecorded by Nancy Sinatra & Lee Hazlewood, 1967
Intro: Am Am7 Am7/G G Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring -- Am Am7 Am7/G G My summer wine is really made from all these things. Am G I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to Am G A song that I had only sang to just a few; Dm Dm7 Am She saw my silver spurs and said, "Let's pass some time, Dm Dm7 Am G Em7 Am7 And I will give to you summer wine." Ohh -oh summer wine Refrain: Am Am7 Am7/G G Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring -- Am Am7 Am7/G G My summer wine is really made from all these things. Dm Dm7 Am Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time Dm Dm7 Am G Em7 Am7 And I will give to you summer wine." Ohh -oh summer wine Am Am7 Am7/G G My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak; Am Am7 Am7/G G I tried to get up, but I couldn't find my feet. Dm Dm7 Am She reassured me with an unfamiliar line, Dm Dm7 Am G Em7 Am7 And then she gave to me more summer wine. Ohh -oh summer wine Repeat Refrain: Am Am7 Am7/G G When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes; Am Am7 Am7/G G My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size. Dm Dm7 Am She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime Dm Dm7 Am G Em7 Am7 And left me cravin' for more summer wine. Ohh -oh summer wine Repeat Refrain:
This song was the B-side of Sinatra's 1967 hit "Sugar Town." It wasn't a huge hit, and isn't terribly challenging musically -- it's here mostly because it's seldom encountered these days.
