Summertime’s Close Chords by Zach Bryan

[Intro]

  C    F   C    F    
  C    G   C    C   
 
 
[Verse]

                C                          
Well, I've had cold and humid mornings on 
 F                     C
city streets and back porches
     G                     
But I ain't never breathed 
                      C
a breath as fresh as you
                C
And I've seen children

 playin' on the coastlines
            F          
Under the white lines, 
           C
atop the blue tides
           F           C        
But I ain't ever been baptized 
    G                C
in water as cool as you  
         C
And the law don't ever 

come back here and I
F                 C
 Reckon they don't try
      F                C
I just put some beer on ice
            G                      C
Let's just dance for a moment or two
 
 
[Chorus]

                   Am       
'Cause you're the fire of 
     G       C         F
Carolina and Oklahoma too
      Am            G  
The stars in St. Louis 
       C            F
ain't burnin' bright as you
            Am             G   
You're the waves crashin' down 
       C        F
on the Eastern Coast
          Am           G        
When the day's coolin' off and 
     C            F
the summertime's closed
        Am           G    
I lost faith in the world 
        C     F
a long time ago

[Verse]

 C
We'd always ride 

those back roads back when
F         C
 You got sick
F                C
 Roll the windows down
      G              C
Just for the heck of it
    C
You always acted baptized
     F                 C
Every time we hit the coast
    F            C
Bandana tan line on your forehead
        G                C
So the tourists didn't know
 
 
[Chorus]

                   Am       
'Cause you're the fire of 
     G       C         F
Carolina and Oklahoma too
      Am            G    
The stars in St. Louis 
       C            F
ain't burnin' bright as you 
            Am             G      
You're the waves crashin' down on 
    C        F
the Eastern Coast 
          Am           G       
When the day's coolin' off and 
     C            F
the summertime's closed
        Am           G       
I lost faith in the world 
        C     F
a long time ago
          Am          G       
My blood-rush to the heart, 
          C       F
you were my last hope

[Outro]

         C
And the law don't 

ever come back here and I
F                 C
 Reckon they don't try
      F                C
I just put some beer on ice
       G                   C
And tonight I'm dancin' for two
