F   A7     Dm   Bb
Old summer reckoning
F         C7                A7    Dm
Long gray shadows bring you home again
Bb         F/A
I keep you in mind
Bb         A7
I keep you in mind
Bb          C7         F   Bb G7 C7
Every year around this time

[Verse 2]
F          A7
Tired heat hangin'
Dm          Bb
On worn out leaves
F                 C7           A7   Dm
But still they're bending down over me
Bb               F/A
It weighs on the trees
Bb             A7
Who buckle and creak
Bb               C7       Bb     Bbm  F/A  Abdim7  Bb  F/C  C7#5#9
The hours movin' thick as thieves
 
 
[Verse 3]
F   A7     Dm   Bb
Old summer reckoning
F/C       C7                A7    Dm
Long gray shadows bring you home again
Bb            F
I keep you in mind
Bb            A7
I keep you in mind
Bb         C7          F    C7
Every year around this time

[Verse 4]
F          A7            Dm         Bb
Tired eyes sleepin' on a wind swept page
F               C7             A7   Dm
Dreaming as the story tries to fly away
Bb            F
Lost too much time
Bb               A7
I'm lost all the time
Bb
Re-reading the linеs
Bbm
Re-reading the past
Dm             C7       F      C7
Rе-reading the last few lines
 
 
[Verse 5]
  F               A7             Dm        Bb7b5
I left you as the summer brought down that day
F              C7
Baffled in the sun
           A7      Dm
You turned hard as clay
Bb        F
Day after day
Bb            A7
Come wind and come rain
  Bb                C7         A7   Dm
I pray that you are swept away
