Saratoga Summer Song chords by Teddy Thompson
Verse 1
C
G
C
G
C
G
We were
C
G
nice young adults,
C
G
we proved ourselves, we showed results
C
G
Like cats and dogs who'd
C
G
undergone a fix
C
G
Fashionably cynical
C
G
and love to us was clinical
C
G
C
Long ago we gave up getting our kicks
G
C
But the summer sun came
G
C
down on all of us
G
Fun to feel, fun to fall
C
G
into a sloppy teenage scene
C
G
Gossiping and having crushes,
C
dimming lights to hide our blushes
G
C
G
My God, I thought I was sixteen
Abm
A
All those happy hours,
turned the green buds into
D
Dsus4
flowers
G
Gaug
This crazy summer is over
Cm
G
Am
Cm
No more bees, no more clover
G
Dsus4
And the rope at the swimming hole
D
G
D
G
Swings by the weight of the wind
Gaug
Cm
Skidmore girls come back to town,
G
Am
all the freaks head underground
Cm
G
Dsus4
And we who are free swing
G
D
G
like the rope on that tree
C
G
We danced and played some tennis,
C
G
made love with Fred or Dennis
We drank lots of beer
C
and ate a whole lot of food.
G
C
G
We put our bodies to the sun
C
for God to see.
G
C
And everyone we swam dressed
G
C
G
and we swam nude.
C
G
And the New York City ballet dancers
C
danced for all the neighborhood cancers
G
who were celebrating their
C
birthdays in the sun
G
C
G
And all that sun brought dope and lust
C
And we weren't too smart
and we had a bust
G
C
G
Abm
But nobody slept alone
A
Night caught up with day
D
Summer went away
G
Gaug
This crazy summer is past now
Cm
G
Am
Cm
Sunrise to sunset is fading fast now
Dsus4
G
And all I want is to see
D
G
The rope on that tree
So bring back the bagels,
Gaug
Cm
bring back the lox,
G
Am
let's have another Bernal equinox.
Cm
G
Bring back the laughs,
bring back the tears,
Dsus4
G
bring back the beer,
D
G
bring back the dope and the rope.
Thank you.
