The Summer Wind
Words & Music by Hans Bradtke & Henry Mayer
English lyrics by Johnny Mercer
Recorded by Frank Sinatra, 1966 (#25)
D DM7 Cdim (B7) Em7 A9 A7
The summer wind came blowin' in across the sea,
Em B+ Em7 A9 DM7 D6
It lingered there to touch your hair and walk with me;
Am7 D7 D D9 D7 G G/F# C9 Gdim
All summer long we sang a song and strolled in golden sand,
D Bm7-5 Em7 A7 DM7 D6 Em7 A7
Two sweethearts and the summer wind.
D DM7 Cdim B7 Em7 A9 A7
Like painted kites, the days and nights went flying by;
Em B+ Em7 Em6 DM7 D6
The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky.
Am7 D7 D9 G G/F# C9 Gdim
Then softer than a piper man, one day it called to you -
D Bm7 -5 Em7 A7 DM7 B7
I lost you to the summer wind.
(Key change to E)
E E+7 E7 Fdim F#m7 B7
The autumn wind, the winter winds have come and gone;
F#m B7 Fdim B7 E9 E E6 E
And still the days, the lonely days, go on and on.
Edim E7 Bm7-5 E7 A AM7 D9 Cdim
And guess who sighs his lul-la-bies though nights that never end?
E C#m7-5 F#m B7 E E+7 F#m B7
My fickle friend, the summer wind.
Coda:
E E+7 F#m B7 E E+7 F#m B7 E9
The summer wind, the summer wind.
