“Summer Woman”

Words and music by Donny Douglas

Intro

C Bb F x 2

Verse

C                          Bb          F

I saw this sweet summer woman, walking down the street, I thought to myself, hey

C                                 Bb            F

That’s the kind of lover I just, gotta meet, so I

C                 Bb              F

blew her a love song, to try and turn her head,

C                                    Bb                     F

But when she turned and caught my eye, she just, shot me dead,

 

First chorus

Bb                          F                                             C

Well I, thought I’d try, thought I’d try to catch her eye

Bb                          F                                                      C

I didn’t cry, no, though I thought that I would die

Second verse

She shook back her long hair as she kissed the breeze,

Just a glimpse of her tender face brought me, too my knees,

I loved her from that moment, and wanted so much more

But when I tried to kiss her she showed me the door,

Repeat first chorus

Third verse

With the door open to me and a neon exit sign, I thought to myself,

Do I run for cover or shall I stand and fight?

So I dropped a line like Brando would and headed for the door,

And when I turned to say goodnight, she just dragged me to the floor

Final chorus

Bb                          F                                             C

Well I, thought I’d try, thought I’d try to say good bye

Bb                                 F                           C

I didn’t lie, no, but I wanted her to cry
