[ Предположительная тональность: G ] From: Chris Walker Clambone@aol.com G C I was in your presence for an hour or so D G Or was it a day? I truly don't know G C Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low D G By the soft and shining sea G C D Did you respect me for what I did or for what I did'nt do G Or for keepin' it hid? G C Did I lose my mind the night I tried toget rid D G Of everything you see CHORUS G C In the summertime D G Ah In the summertime G C In the summertime D G When you were with me G C I got the heart and you got the blood, D G We can cut through iron, we can cut through mud. G C Then came the warnin' that was before the flood D G That set everybody free G C Fools they made a mock of sin D G Our loyalty they tried to win G C But you were closer to me than my next of kin D G They didn't want to know or see CHORUS G C Strangers, they meddled in our affairs, D G Poverty and shame was theirs. G C But all that sufferin' was not to be compered D G With the glory that is to be G C And I'm still carrying the gift you gave; D G It's a part of me now it's been cherished and saved G C It'll be with me un-til the grave D G Then unto eternit-y CHORUS
