SUMMER (THE FIRST TIME) - Bobby Goldsboro
Intro
A|---2-0-4-2-7-6-|
E|-2-------------| A/F# - E - B7 - A/F# - E - B7
A/F#
It was a hot afternoon,
E
the last day of June,
B7
and the sun was a demon.
A/F#
The clouds were afraid,
E
one ten in the shade,
B7
and the pavement was steamin'
A/F#
I told Billy Ray
E
in his red Chevro- let,
B7
I needed time for some thinkin'.
A/F#
I was just walking by
E
when I looked in her eye,
B7
and I swore it was winkin'.
D Bm
She was thirty-one, and I was seventeen,
C#m F#m
I knew nothing about love, she knew everything.
D Bm
But I sat down beside her on that front porch swing,
C#7 F#m
and wondered what the coming night would bring.
B - F#madd11=2x
A/F#
The sun closed her eyes
E
as it climbed in the skies,
B7
and it started to swelter.
A/F#
The sweat trickled down
E
the front of her gown,
B7
I thought it would melt her.
A/F#
She threw back her hair
E
like I wasn't there,
B7
she sipped on a Julep.
A/F#
Her shoulders were bare,
E
and I tried not to stare,
B7
when I looked at her two lips.
D Bm
And when she looked at me, I heard her softly say,
C#m7 F#m
'I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say.
D Bm
But stay with me until the sun has gone away,
C#7 F#m
and I will chase the boy in you a- way.
B - F#madd11=2x
F#m/D D/B
And then she smiled, then we talked for a while,
C#m7 F#
and we walked for a mile to the sea.
F#m/D D/B
We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand,
C#m7 F#
but he saw the sun rise as a man.
F#m/D - C#m7 - C#m7 - F# 2x B - F#madd11=2x
A/F#
Ten years have gone by
E
since I looked in her eyes,
B7
but the memory lingers.
A/F#
I go back in my mind
E
to the very first time,
B7
feel the touch of her fingers.
A/F#
It was a hot afternoon,
E
the last day of June,
B7
and the sun was a demon...
