     C#
The sun set so late tonight
   F#                   C#
I wonder if you saw it too
           F#                  C#
I wish I still had someone to lose
           G#                       C#
But all I got are these summertime blues

Bet there's a green-eyed, dark-haired beauty
On some beach by Monterey
Lettin' waves wash her pain away
But I'll never know

Bet there's some boys out in Okie
That are prayin' to get the job done
Haulin' hay and fightin' off the sun
With ladies waitin' in town

Chorus:
             F#                C#
Summertime blues, summertime blues
       G#              A#m
I got nothing left to prove
            F#               C#
I’m out of touch and out of tune
          G#
Singing alone
                 F#
To the birds up high
                C#
And the souls below
           G#                    A#m
All those boys who ain’t got no home
               F#               C#
The beautiful girls I’ll never hold
                G#
This one’s for you
                F# C# G# A#m
My summertime blues
                F# C# G#
My summertime blues

The quiet turns to revelry
As the sun burns away the spring
The coastlines start to sing
With the young and heartless

Hilton head and the Hamptons
Where the rich all go to die
The young kids all get high
Just to pass time

I bought a bottle of the best bourbon
A beat-down boy could buy
I'm gonna bury all my sorrow
As the summertime passes by

Chorus:
Summertime blues, summertime blues
I've got nothin' left to prove
I'm out of touch and out of tune
Singin' alone
To the birds up high and the souls below
All those boys who ain't got no home
The beautiful girls I'll never hold
This one's for you
My summertime blues
My summertime blues

The sun set so late tonight
I wonder if you saw it too
Wish I still had someone to lose
All I got are these summertime blues
