Verse 1
(D major) The streets are almost empty,
the shops are all closed down
There's (F sharp minor) not a soul left in the bar
to tell my troubles to
Think I will (B minor) walk down to the river
that heads just south of town
And I (G major) hate like hell
when there ain't nothin' left to do
But (D major) stand beneath the (A major) river bridge
and (B minor) listen (D major) for the (G major) train (D major)
(G major) It's (B minor) been a long hot summer,
(A major) not a drop of (D major) rain
I broke down in December,
headed for the coast
I (F sharp minor) thought the wind and water
would elevate my mind
I (B minor) sur faced in the springtime,
feeling like a ghost
Losing (G major) more than ever,
the things I left behind
Now (D major) I'm standing on (A major) this riverbank,
and (B minor) still (G major) (D major)
(G major) It's been (B minor) a long hot summer,
(A major) not a drop of (D major) rain
My bag is full of letters,
unopened and unread
I'm (F sharp minor) sure they tell the story
of worry and of form
My (B minor) heart is beating heavy
with all we left unsaid
(F sharp minor) I (G major) swear to you I
never meant you any harm
The (D major) sacrifice and (A major) compromise
could (B minor) never stand this (G major) strain
It's been (B minor) a long hot summer,
(A major) not a drop of (D major) rain
Tonight I'll close my eyes again,
try to see your face
Listen (F sharp minor) for your voice
to tell me it's alright to sleep
Con (B minor) vince myself
I'll wake up in another time and place
Know (G major) ing all the while
it's a promise I can't keep
(D major) A string of broken promises,
(A major) another link (G major) of change
It's (B minor) been a long hot summer,
(A major) not a drop of (D major) rain
The children on the plane,
the lovers in the shade
Remind (F sharp minor) me of a life in time
that feels more like a (D major) dream
When (B minor) the sound of love and laughter
was the music that we played
As (F sharp minor) we (G major) lay beside the waters
of a never -ending stream
Now the (D major) stream's gone into (A major) hiding,
the (D major) dream lives on in (G major) vain
It's (B minor) been a long hot summer,
not (A major) a drop of (D major) rain (E minor) (G major) (D major) (G major)
The (D major) clouds are building slowly,
on the skyline to the east
The (F sharp minor) wind and dust are dancing,
like the devil crossed the lake
I (D major) could (B minor) try to find a bottle,
or try to find a priest
Salva (G major) tion won't be trouble,
either road I take
(D major) So I'll turn my collar (A major) to the wind
that (B minor) echoes (G major) this refrain (D major) (G major)
It's (B minor) been a long hot summer,
not (A major) a drop of rain
(D major)
