Strum
D-DU-UDU
 great lead by acordion)
Ramblin'  where to begin
I  taste the summer on your peppery skin
Been  saved the  warmer the waves
I  felt a slip into a watery grave
 2x
 (back vocals) ooh la ladi dadi da orsmth.
My  girl,  linen and curls
Lips  parting like a flag all unfurled
She's  grand  the bend of her hand
Digging  deep into the sweep of the sand
 2x
 (back vocals) ooh la ladi dadi da orsmth.
Summer arrives with  a length of lights
Summer  blows away
And  quietly gets swallowed  by a wave
 It gets swallowed by a wave
 Waylay the din of the day
 Boats bobbing in the blue of the bay
 In deep far beneath all the dead sailors
 Slowly slipping to sleep
 My girl, linen and curls
 Lips parting like a flag all unfurled
 She's grand the bend of her hand
 Digging deep into the sweep of the sand
 Summer arrives with a length of lights
 Summer blows away
 And quietly gets swallowed by a wave
 It gets swallowed by a wave...
