[Intro 1]
[A5][D][A5][D][C][Am][A5][D][A5][D][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]When I was y[A5]ounger than now I am,[Am]
[D]I liked swimming, so I swam,
[C]The [Am]town side [A]of old Cinna[D]mon Lane,
tarmac broken from sun,
Up the [C]grass [Am]came,
[D]up [Am]willow I would climb to the top,
[D]Hang and watch the water drop,
[Am]from my feet to the river below,
[D]Young strength finally waned, the[Am]n I followed,
I love that [D]glow and now I know:
[Am]Summer's in

[Verse 2]
bloom,
Summer[G]'s [Am]in bl[D]oom,
[C]Light her [D]up, [C]let [G]her [Am]fill the room,
[G][Am]
Speak no [D]lie, [C]Sum[D]mer
[G]'s [Am]in bloom,
Summer[G]'s [Am]in bloom,
[D]lig[C]ht her up,[D] let[C] her[G] fil[Am]l the room.

[Verse 3]
[D]Off[Am] to mugdleyabou[D]t the year[Am]s end,
[D]I shout up: "let's have a swim!"
[Am]I expect all my frie[D]nds to say "[Am]no",
[D]they agree so in we go!
[Am]I got a stinging nettle rash for it,
[D]but I'm so very happy that I did,
[Am]I never ever ask why, I don't care why,[D]
I just know that:

[Verse 4]
Summer's [Am]in bloom,
Summer's [G]in [Am]bloom,[D]
[C]Light her [D]up, [C]let [G]her [Am]fill the [G]room,[Am]
Speak no [D]lie, [C]Sum[D]mer
[G]'s [Am]in bloom,
Summer[G]'s [Am]in bl[D]oom, l[C]ight her u[D]p,
[C]let [G]her [Am]fill the room.

[Verse 5]
[Am]When I was younger than now I am,
[D]I liked swimming, so I swa[Am]m,
The town side of [D]old Cinna[Am]mon Lane,
[D]tarmac broken from sun, up the gra[Am]ss cam[D]e.
[Am]The winter evening that I came home,
[D]found out that my girl had gon[Am]e!
My father's eye told of a
place that he'd been,
[D]Strong women play their own tune.
[Am]Summer's in

Summer's in [D]bloom, [C]light [D]her up,
[C]let [G]her fil[Am]l the room.
