(E flat minor) Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach

The summer's out of reach

Chorus 1
Don't know you're not home
(G flat major) But I can see you
(D flat major) Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your
(B flat major) Sunglasses on, baby
(G flat major) I can tell you,
my (D flat major) love for you will still be strong
After the boys of (B flat major) summer have gone

Verse 2
(E flat minor) I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
(B flat major) Remember how you
made me crazy
Remember how I made you scream
(D flat major) And I don't understand
what happened to our love
(B flat major) But, babe, I'm gonna get you back
Chorus 2
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
(G flat major) I can see you
(D flat major) Your brown skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow and
(B flat major) You're smiling at everyone
(G flat major) I can tell you,
my (D flat major) love for you will still be strong
After the boys of (B flat major) summer have gone

Verse 3
(E flat minor) Out on the road today
I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
(B flat major) A little voice inside inside my head said
"Don't look back, you can never look back"
(D flat major) I thought I knew what love was
What did I know
(B flat major) Those days are gone forever
Chorus 3
I should just let 'em go, but
(G flat major) I can see you
(D flat major) Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your top pulled down
(B flat major) Radio on, baby
(G flat major) I can tell you,
my (D flat major) love for you will still be strong
After the boys of (B flat major) summer have gone
Chorus 4
(G flat major) I can see you
(D flat major) Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair slicked back and those
(B flat major) Wayfarers on, baby
(G flat major) I can tell you,
my (D flat major) love for you will still be strong
After the boys of (B flat major) summer have gone
