C
The sun set so late tonight
   F                   C
I wonder if you saw it too
           F                   C
I wish I still had someone to lose
           G                       C
But all I got are these summertime blues


[Verse 2]
               C
Bet there’s a green-eyed, dark-haired beauty
         F            C
On some beach by Monterey
          F                  C
Letting waves wash her pain away
                G
But I’ll never know


[Verse 3]
                  C
Bet there’s some boys out in Okie
            F                    C
That are praying to get the job done
         F                        C
Hauling hay and fighting off the sun
                       G
The ladies waiting in town


[Pre-Chorus]
             F                 C
Summertime blues, summertime blues
       G               Am
I got nothing left to prove
             F               C
I’m out of touch and out of tune
          G
Singing alone
                 F
To the birds up high
                C
And the souls below
           G                     Am
All those boys who ain’t got no home
                F                C
The beautiful girls I’ll never hold
                G
This one’s for you


[Chorus]
                F   C G Am
My summertime blues
                F   C G
My summertime blues

C  F C F C G


[Verse 4]
     C
The quiet turns to revelry
        F                  C
As the sun burns away the spring
        F                C
The coastlines start to sing
                     G
With the young and heartless


[Verse 5]
 C
Hilton head and the Hamptons
           F              C
Where the rich all go to die
         F                  C
And the young kids all get high
                  G
Just to pass the time


[Verse 6]
            C
I bought a bottle of the best bourbon
   F                   C
A beat down boy could buy
      F                 C
I’m gonna’ bury all my sorrow
            G            C
As the summertime passes by


[Pre-Chorus]
             F                 C
Summertime blues, summertime blues
       G               Am
I got nothing left to prove
             F               C
I’m out of touch and out of tune
          G
Singing alone
                 F
To the birds up high
                C
And the souls below
           G                     Am
All those boys who ain’t got no home
                F                C
The beautiful girls I’ll never hold
                G
This one’s for you


[Chorus]
                F   C G Am
My summertime blues
                F   C G
My summertime blues

The sun set so late tonight
