Intro:
G C D G x2


Verse 1:
   G
I was in your presence
    C
For an hour or so
  D
Or was it a day
    G
I truly don't know

    G
For the sun never set
     C
For the trees hung low
D            G
By that soft and shining sea

G           C
Did you respect me for what I did
D              G
Or did I lose my mind when I tried to get big
G           C
Did I lose my mind when I tried to get hid
D          G
From everything you see

Chorus:
    G
In the summer time

G            C
I got the heart and you got the blood
D             G
We cut through iron and we cut through mud
G            C
But then came the storm before the flood
  D        G
That set everybody free

G         C
Fools they made a mock of sin
  D      G
Our loyalty they tried to win
G                C
But you were closer to me than my next of kin
   D           G
They didn't want to know or see

Chorus:
    G
In the summer time
 C

Ooohh in the summer time
    G
In the summer time

G          C
Strangers meddle in our affairs
D        G
Our poverty and shame was theirs
G        C
But all that is not to be compared
G       D
With the glory that is to be

G              C
Now I'm still carrying that gift you gave
D              G
It's a part of me it's been cherished and saved
G           C
And it will be with be until the grave
  D         G
And into eternity


Chorus:
    G
In the summer time
 C
(Summer time)
D      G
Ooohh in the summer time
    G
In the summer time
 C
(Summer time)

When you were with me

    G
In the summer time
 C
(Summer time)
D      G
Ooohh in the summer time
    G
In the summer time
 C
(Summer time)
D      G
When you were with me
