Don Henley - The Boys of Summer
Originally in Ebm, I play in Am or Am capo 1
Highest note is the 3 in the major key (“I can see you”)

Vox in on the 7, up to the 1 on “road”
AmNobody on the road, nobody on the beach
FI feel it in the air, the summer’s out of reach
GEmpty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone
FI’m driving by your house, though I know you’re not home
CBut I can see you, Gyour brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your Fsunglasses on, baby
CI can tell you my Glove for you will still be strong
After the boys of Fsummer have gone
AmFGF
AmI never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream
FRemember how you made me crazy, remember how I made you scream
GNow I don’t understand what happened to our love
FBut babe I’m gonna get you back
I’m gonna show you what I’m made of
CI can see you,Gyour brown skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow and you’re Fsmiling at everyone
CI can tell you my Glove for you will still be strong
After the boys of Fsummer have gone
Interlude, I skip this

AmOut on the road today I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
FA little voice inside my head said
Don’t look back, you could never look back
GI thought I knew what love was, what did I know?
FThose days are gone forever I should just let them go, but
CI can see you,Gyour brown skin shining in the sun
You got the top pulled down and your Fradio on, baby
CI can tell you my Glove for you will still be strong
After the boys of Fsummer have gone
CI can see you,Gyour brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair slicked back and those Fwayfarers on, baby
CI can tell you my Glove for you will still be strong
After the boys of Fsummer have gone
