Verse 1:
G
Lost among the brambles, those long cross-country rambles
                   E   D                G 
Your hands stained red, from blackberry picking
G
Brave or was it foolish, you took off all your clothes
                 E    D               G
Your lips turned blue, from North Sea swimming

Chorus:
C                       E 
Colours, colours of the summer
                G             D
My thoughts are drawn to them still
    C                         E 
The red kite against the blue sky
                G             D
My thoughts are drawn to them still

Verse 2:
Race down Chimney Bank faster than legs can carry you
Your knees are green from the tripping and the falling
Nothing to disturb us collapsed amongst the corn
The hazy gold of a lazy summer

Chorus:
Colours...

C             E                G                D
    Flash before us, flash before us, flash before

    Flash before us, flash before us, flash before
