The Boys Of Summer

(originally by Don Henley)

Capo: 7th fret

[Intro]
Am F G F
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am
Nobody on the road
 
Nobody on the beach
F
I feel it in the air
 
The summer's out of reach
G
Empty lake, empty streets
 
The sun goes down alone
F
I'm driving by your house
 
Though I know you're not home
 
 
[Chorus]
C
But I can see you
G
Your brown skin shining in the sun
 
You got your hair combed back and your
F
sunglasses on, baby
C                 G
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
                 F
After the boys of summer have gone
 
 
[Verse 2]
Am
I never will forget those nights
 
I wonder if it was a dream
F
Remember how you made me crazy?
 
Remember how I made you scream?
G
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
F
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
 
I'm going to show you what I'm made of
 
 
[Chorus]
C
I can see you
G
Your brown skin shining in the sun
                               F
I see you walking real slow and smiling at everyone
C                  G
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
                 F
After the boys of summer have gone
 
[Instrumental]
Am F G F Am F
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am
Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
F
A little voice inside my head said
 
"Don't look back, you can never look back"
G
I thought I knew what love was, what did I know?
F
Those days are gone forever
 
I should just let them go but
 
 
[Chorus]
C
I can see you
G
Your brown skin shining in the sun
                                   F
You got the top pulled down and the radio on, baby
C                G
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
                 F
After the boys of summer have gone
C
I can see you
G
Your brown skin shining in the sun
                                        F
You got your hair slicked back and those wayfarers on, baby
C                  G
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
                 F             C
After the boys of summer have gone
