The Boys Of Summer[Ebm] - Don Henley
[Intro]
Ebm B Db B
[Verse 1]
Ebm
Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach.
B
I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach.
Db
Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone.
B
I'm driving by your house, though I know you're not home.
[Chorus]
Gb Db
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
B
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby.
Gb Db
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
B
After the boys of summer have gone.
Ebm B Db B
[Verse 2]
Ebm
I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream.
B
Remember how you made me crazy, remember how I made you scream.
Db
Now I don't understand what happened to our love.
B
But babe, I'm gonna get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of.
[Chorus]
Gb Db
I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
B
I see you walkin' real slow and smiling to everyone.
Gb Db
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
B
After the boys of summer have gone.

[Verse 3]
Ebm
Out on the road today I saw a Deadhead Sticker on a Cadillac.
B
A little voice inside my head said "Don't look back, you can never look back."
Db
I thought I knew what love was. What did I know?
B
Those days are gone forever, I should just let 'em go, but
[Chorus]
Gb Db
I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
B
You got the top pulled down and radio on, baby.
Gb Db
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
B
After the boys of summer have gone.
Gb Db
I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun.
B
You got your hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby.
Gb Db
I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
B
After the boys of summer have gone.
