It's almost Summer ... Billy thorpe. 1975.
(Tempo=128) work up to it..
Vs1.
It's almost summer
And I can almost feel that sweet sunshine
Thawing out this heart of
mi-i-i - i - i - i - ine
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Vs2.
Yes it's almost summer
And I will spend each week day slowly fryin'
I can't wait, I can't wait for the summerti-i-ime
Yeah summerti-i-i-ime
Bridge.
Livin' and lovin' life's so damn easy
When days are sunny and skies are blue-ue
And dancin' all night, some parties till the daylight
Drink Tequila Sunrise with the morning dew
And you -ou -ou my lady
I'm makin' love in the sand while the surf keeps time
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't
wait - summertime Ooh, summerti-ime
a la Vs. x2)
Bridge..
Adlib over
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wai-ait
I can't wait, don't be late
For the summerti-i-ime
Ooh-ooh summertime
Yes the summerti-ime
Ooh summerti-i-i-i-ime
Finish with big .....
Final Chord ... EMaj9
In my set, I segue' from this song into "No Such Thing" by John Mayer.
