Summer Of My Dreams Ft chords lyrics



In this hemisphere it's winter, so whilst I was thinking of summer days and memories, this song came to mind...

The Summer of My Dreams


In the D shade of this old G tree 
In
A7 the summer of my D dreams 
By the
Bm tall grass, by the A wild rose 
Where
G the trees dance, and the A7 wind blows 
As
D the days go oh-so-A7- G slowly 
As
A7 the sun shines oh-so-D holy 
On the
D good and gracious G green 
In the
D summer A7 of my D dreams 

By the
D banks of this old G stream 
In the
A7 summer of my D dreams 
By the
Bm deep pool, where the A fish wait 
For the
G old fool with the A7 wrong bait 
There's a
D field of purple A7- G clover 
There's a
A7 small cloud passing D over 
And then the rain comes washing
G clean 
In the
D summer A7 of my D dreams 

See the
F# raindrops on the Bm grass now 
Just like
F# diamonds lying Bm there 
By the
E old road where I A pass now 
There's a
E twilight in the A A7air... 
And as
D the sun sets down A7 before me 
I see my
A7 true love waiting for D me 
Standing by
D the back porch G screen 
In the
D summer A7 of my D dreams 

In the
D shade of this old G tree 
In
A7 the summer of my D dreams 
By the
Bm tall grass, by the A wild rose 
Where the
G trees dance, and the A7 beans grow 
As
D the days go oh-so- A7 slowly 
As the
A7 sun shines oh-so- D holy 
On the
D good and gracious green 
In the summer
A7 of my dreams 
In the
D summer A7 of my D dreams

If you haven't heard of Lorde yet, you soon will. This young singer/songwriter from New Zealand has a wisdom beyond her years that will see her talent be a global success story.
Check out some more of her music and then really support her by buying her stuff.

This is the (male) version - though the chords in brackets are not :-). The second verse is below...




And if you want to see how to totally ACE a cover, then check out Laura Zocca's version below.
I recon it's the best cover of Royals





ROYALS


D
I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
            (C)                                     (G)        
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
                   D                                               (C)
And I'm not proud of my address - in the torn up town
                     G
No postcode envy

D
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns (tuxedos), trashin' the hotel room
C                                           G
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
                                D
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C                                      G
We don't care - we  aren't caught up in your love affair


                          D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
                 C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
                 G
We crave a different kind of buzz
                      D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee (kingpin)
                  C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G
Let me live that fantasy


D
My friends and I we've cracked the code
                  (C)                                (G)
We count our dollars on the train to the party
              D                                                           (C)
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this
                            (G)
We didn't come from money


D
But every song's like: gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ballgowns (tuxedos), trashin' the hotel room
C                                           G
We don't care - we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams
                                D
But everybody's like Cristal, Mayback, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
C                                      G
We don't care - we  aren't caught up in your love affair


                          D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
                 C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
                 G
We crave a different kind of buzz
                      D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee (kingpin)
                  C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G                            D
Let me live that fantasy

D
oh ooh oh ohh
         C                                 
We're bigger than we ever dreamed
               G
And I'm in love with being queen (king)
D
oh ooh oh ohh
C
Life's a game without a care
              G
We aren't caught up in your love affair
                          D
And we'll never be royals - It don't run in our blood
                 C
That kind of lux just ain't for us
                 G
We crave a different kind of buzz
                      D
Let me be your ruler - you can call me Queen Bee (kingpin)
                  C
And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
G                            D
Let me live that fantasy

Sugarman


Intro:  Am  E Dm7  E


Am         E                Dm9      E
Sugarman,   won't ya hurry
           Dm   E           Am
Coz I'm tired of these scenes
                     E            Dm9         E
For a blue coin, won't ya bring back
             Dm      E          Am
All those colours to my dreams

Silver magic ships, you carry
C           Am              F     Bb
Jumpers, Coke, sweet MaryJane



Am         E                Dm9      E
Sugarman,   met a false friend
        Dm      E      Am
On a lonely, dusty road
                    E           Dm9         E
Lost my heart,  when I found it
             Dm      E             Am
It had turned to dead black coal


C          Am     D7        F
Silver magic ships, you carry
C           Am              F     Bb
Jumpers, Coke, sweet MaryJane



Am          E                Dm9      E
Sugarman,   you're the answer
                      Dm         E      Am
That makes my questions disappear
               E            Dm9         E
Sugarman,   'coz I'm weary
             Dm      E             Am
Of these double games I hear

E   Dm7  E

(fading...)         
        Am   E
Sugarman
        Dm9   E
Sugarman
        Am   E
Sugarman
        Dm7   E
Sugarman
        Am   E
Sugarman
        Dm   E
Sugarman

        Am   
Sugarman


I quite enjoyed listening to the guys of Aussie group Benjalu give Rodriguez's Sugarman their unique cover. Something a little different... 
So if you want to support these guys and download their cover of Sugarman along with some other great songs, like Rise And Shine - go here:
