Lyrics

summers evening
C C6 Am
On a beautiful summers evening
C C6 Am
We’ll take a walk down a country lane
F C G
We’ll find a little place to have a drink in
F C G
And sit and talk late into the evening

Chorus
C E7 Am F
And we’ll talk about good summers and good friends all gone by
C E7 Am F
And we’ll wonder what their doing now
C E7 Am D7
And we’ll about the dreams we had but never fulfilled them
C F C
And things haven’t turned out as bad as they often seem
V.2
We hear a song playing on the jukebox
We try and remember the band and the year
We sing the words we remember
As the memories come flooding back from the year
Chorus
C E7 Am F
And we’ll talk about good summers and good friends all gone by
C E7 Am F
And we’ll think about the who never made it all the way
C E7 Am D7
And we’ll about the dreams we had but never fulfilled them
C F C
And things haven’t turned out as bad as they often seem

V.3
Time goes by so quickly
not sure where the evenings has gone
We should be heading home now
Or, one more for the road and one more song…..
Chorus
