[Verse]
      G         C             G            D
We've suffered enough, at the hands of the Wintersmith
G           D           G            D
All had our fill of the frost on the ground
      G             C             G           D
Let's drink, to the health of the fair Summer Lady
    G            C            D             G
And wish her the best, as she draws the sun down

[Verse]
   G            C              Em           D
Go back to your mountains, you cold-hearted lover
     G        C            Em          D
Your magic is broken, your mischief is done
    G          C             Em          D
The time is at hand, for the fair Summer Lady
   G           C             D             G
To take up her place, and to draw down the sun

[Chorus]
        C  D    Em
Let the seasons turn
        C      D       Em
Let the rivers start a-flowing
        C   D   Bm
Let the hot sun burn
    C        D      G         C  G
And melt our frozen hearts

[Verse]
    G             C            G           D
Too long, have we lived in the clutches of Winter
    G             D            G           D
Too long, have we lived in the grip of the cold
    G           C             G           D
One wave of her hand, and the fair Summer Lady
     G              C            D          G
Will turn the white fields, into yellow and gold

[Verse]
   G                  C            Em           D
To breeze through the corn, on the first day in Springtime
Continues after the ad
   G         C           Em       D
To lie under skies of magnificent blue
     G           C           Em          D
Just look in the eyes of the fair Summer Lady
       G           C                 D              G
She'll harvest our dreams and she'll make them come true

[Chorus]
        C  D    Em
Let the seasons turn
        C      D       Em
Let the rivers start a-flowing
        C   D   Bm
Let the hot sun burn
    C        D      G
And melt our frozen hearts
        C    D     Em
Let the warm winds blow
         C          D      Em
Send the North Wind on his journey
       C   D   Bm
Sweep away the snow
    C      D      G
The Summer Lady's here

[Bridge]
       A
She'll smile on the hillside
       C
She'll dance on the lake
       D/A
She'll shimmer with brightness
     C
When she is awake
        A
She can turn the sun blood-red
     C
In a hot burning sky
         D/A
But when Summer is over
    C         Am  F  Dm  Bb
The Lady must die.......

[Verse]
   G             C             G           D
So drink, to the health of the fair Summer Lady
G            D         G          D
Bathe in her glory and be of good cheer
   G            C         G           D
As sure, as the Summer is followed by Winter
      G           C       D           G
We'll call on the Lady of Summer each year

[Chorus]
        C  D    Em
Let the seasons turn

Let the rivers start a-flowing

Let the hot sun burn

And melt our frozen hearts
        C    D     Em
Let the warm winds blow
         C          D      Em
Send the North Wind on his journey
       C   D   Bm
Sweep away the snow
