Am     C
Ramblin' where to begin
Em                         G
I taste the summer on your peppery skin
Am         C
Been saved the warmer the waves
Em                   G
I felt a slip into a watery grave
 
[Am C Em G](2x)
 
Am      C
My girl, linen and curls
Em                             G
Lips parting like a flag all unfurled
Am         C
She's grand the bend of her hand
Em                      G
Digging deep into the sweep of the sand
 
[Am C Em G](2x)
 
[Chorus]
G      Am      Em                Am
Summer arrives with a length of lights
Em     Am     F
Summer blows away
C                G              Am     C     Em       G
And quietly gets swallowed by a wave
Am     C     Em       G
It gets swallowed by a wave 
 
Waylay the din of the day
Boats bobbing in the blue of the bay
In deep far beneath all the dead sailors
Slowly slipping to sleep
 
My girl, linen and curls
Lips parting like a flag all unfurled
She's grand the bend of her hand
Digging deep into the sweep of the sand
 
Summer arrives with a length of lights
Summer blows away
And quietly gets swallowed by a wave
It gets swallowed by a wave...

The one clear mistake is that you should play the G# an octave up from where it is.

In the chorus, the 1st 2 Am should only be for half a bar each with the 2nd half of each of those bars as a C
