Summer of Love

Intro: Em G Am C
       Em G Am C
 
Verse 1:
     Em             G
The winter doesn’t want you
    Am         C                      Em
It haunts you, summer serenading’s a long way
         G       Am          C
From this frozen place, your face
     Em           G
Our teacher, our preacher
      Am              C                         Em
It’s nature, and like flowers growing in a bomb crater
       G        Am        C
From nothing a rose, it grows
 
Pre-Chorus 1:
                          Em      G
I been thinking ‘bout the West Coast
                      Am     C
Not the one that everyone knows
                            Em  G
I'm sick of living in the shadows
                                 Am
We’ve one more chance before the light goes
 
Chorus 1:
           C         Em G Am C
Before the summer of love
          Em G Am C
Summer of love
 
Verse 2:
       Em              G
We’re freezing, we’re leaving
  Am           C                          Em
Believing that all we need’s ahead of us somewhere
      G        Am           C
In a summer to come, so we run
 
Pre-Chorus 2:
                          Em      G
I been thinking ‘bout the West Coast
                      Am     C
Not the one that everyone knows
                            Em  G
I'm sick of living in the shadows
                                 Am
We’ve one more chance before the light goes
 
Chorus 2:
           C         Em G Am C
Before the summer of love
          Em G Am C
Summer of love
 
Bridge: C Bm Em G
 
C            Bm
Oh, and when all is lost
     Em                       G
When all is lost, we find out what remains
C            Bm
Oh, the same ocean’s crossed
    Em
The summer’s pleasure, the summer's pain 
 
Pre-Chorus 3: Em G Am C
 
                          Em       G
I been thinking ‘bout the West Coast
                      Am      C
Not the one that everyone knows
                  Em  G
In the rubble of Aleppo
                        Am
Flowers blooming in the shadows
 
Chorus 2:
           C         Em G Am C
Before the summer of love
          Em G Am C
Summer of love
