Billy Joel - Summer, Highland Falls Transpose up Transpose down

This is based on the Billy Joel version, which is in F.

I play in D

As much walking between chords as you can fit in

DD/F#Em7G

A7A7GG

They say that Dthese are not the D/F#best of times

But tEm7hey’re the only Gtimes I’ve ever Dknown D/F#Em7G

And I beDlieve that there’s a D/F#time for meditEm7ation

In catGhedrals of our A7own E→ A

NF#/A#ow I have Bmseen that sad surBm/Arender

In my Glover’s eyes GD/F#

And E7I can only stand apart and A7sympathize

For we are Galways what our D/F#situations Em7hand us

It’s either A7sadness or eupGhoria C→G

DD/F#Em7G

A7A7GG

And so we’ll Dargue and we’ll coD/F#mpromise

And rEm7ealize that nGothing’s really Dchanged D/F#Em7G

For all our mDutual exD/F#perience

Our Em7separate concGlusions are the A7same E→ A

NF#/A#ow we are Bmforced to recogBm/Anize our

InhuGmanity GD/F#

Our E7reason coexists with our inA7sanity

And though we cGhoose between reD/F#ality and mEm7adness

It’s either A7sadness or eupGhoria C→G

Instrumental if appropriate

DD/F#Em7G

DD/F#Em7G

A7A7E→ AF#/A#

How tBmhoughtlessly we diBm/Assipate our eGnergies GD/F#

PerhE7aps we don’t fulfill each other’s A7fantasies

And as we Gstand upon the D/F#ledges of our livEm7es

With our respA7ective simiGlarities C→ G

It’s either A7sadness or eupGhoria C→G

A7Sadness or euphGoria
