The following chords are used in this song:
The following chords are used in this song: G Gmaj7 A A13 Bm Bm9 Bm/C# C9 D Dmaj7 D/G D/F# Em Em7 C#m7-5 F# Transcriber's notes: It may not be exact, there are some jazzy passing chords in there, but it should be close enough to be useful to someone playing on an "open-mic night" in a noisy club. Bm/C# is "B minor over C-sharp", a B minor chord with a C-sharp in the bass. Likewise, D/G is "D over G", a D major chord with a G in the bass, and D/F# is "D over F-sharp", a D major chord with an F-sharp in the bass. A simplified version of the song could be obtained by substituting any above chord on the left with those to the right of it; G could be substituted for Gmaj7, A for A13, Bm for Bm9 or Bm/C#, etc.
[intro: G / A / D ]
G A
I think I just recalled a time
D A
It was not the moon and not the wine
G A
And though you said you were a friend of mine
D
I never felt that way inclined
G A
Oh the days were hot and the nights were long
D A
I must have sung a million songs
G A D
But all the words just came out wrong on the last day of summer
Em C#m7-5 Bm9 G
I tried to walk the line, hoped everything would turn out fine
Em C#m7-5 Bm Bm/C# D/G D/F#
But I think I fell in love that time on the last day
Em C#m7-5
And then the rain came down
Bm9 G
And sparkled the signs of the underground
Em C#m7-5 Bm F#
And the darkness fell all over town on the last day
G A
I think I dropped my guard that time
D A
I was flesh and blood and grit and slime
G A D
And I think I may have lost my mind on the last day of summer
G A
I think I fell in love back there
D A
It was tooth and nail it was bones and hair
G A D
And you'll never know how much I cared on the last day of summer
Em C#m7-5 Bm9 G
And though I think I fell that time it was not the only fault of mine
Em C#m7-5 Bm Bm/C# D/G D/F#
But all I wanted was a sign on the last day
Em C#m7-5 Bm9 G
I think you broke my heart that day and nothing I could do or say
Em C#m7-5 Bm F#
Could make the coldness go away on the last day
C#m7-5 Dmaj7
The winter changes everything
Gmaj7 C9
And the raindrops freeze on the signs of the underground
C#m7-5 Dmaj7 Gmaj7
I wonder will you think of me when you look up and see
Em7 A13
There's a full moon over London Town
G A D A
I think I was away the day when you said you were too smart to play
G A
And you'd only beat me anyway
D
it's funny how I would have stayed
G A
And you said you were a friend of mine
D A
But that's not what I had in mind
G A D
I think I fell in love that time on the last day of summer
Em C#m7-5 Bm9 G
I tried to walk the line, hoped everything would turn out fine
Em C#m7-5 Bm Bm/C# D/G D/F#
But I lost the reasons and the rhymes on the last day
Em C#m7-5
And then the rain came down
Bm9 G
And sparkled the signs of the underground
Em C#m7-5 Bm F#
And the darkness fell all over town on the last day
