Noyes And The Boyes - Last Week Of Summer

D C D A D The last week of summer, C I rode a hundred miles D I swam in the harbor, A I fell off the wagon D I flirted with a waitress C And told her my problems D I ran from the cops A And I threw up my hands D C D A D The last week of summer C I lay in the hammock D And counted my toes A While I polished my blessings D Thought about the war C But I can’t remember which war D Thought we ought git A While the gittin’ was good D C D A D The last week of summer C I hung with my homeys D And counted every star A As they streaked across the sky’ D Listened to the loon C As he bellowed in the background D He’s gonna have an evening A If his lady comes by D C D A G Here’s a bit of business D While we’re on the subject C D You can’t go back to the days of your youth G You can pretend D That you’re just a little younger C D Acting like a knucklehead like you do G Pass me back the bottle boys D Pass me back the bowl C D Raise a salute to Ellee and Ruth G You can’t go back to that D Last week of summer C G D C D But you can relive - That moment of truth G You can’t go back to that D Last week of summer C D D D D But you can relive - That moment of truth D C D A D C D A
