Intro: D A [x 2]
D A
I’ll drop you a postcard, I’ll pick up my pen
D C#m Bm
Miranda Street’s deserted, it’s winter again
D A G D
Give me ten minutes and I’ll paint you a picture
D A
Of holiday houses where the sun won’t shine
D C#m Bm
And the paint is peeling around the ‘vacancy’ sign
D A G D
Where it’s winter forever, whatever the weather
G D
And these are my autumn years
D A
And this is the town where the girl got run down
D C#m Bm
Pale sun in the pine trees, her golden hair on the ground
D A G D
Her body crumpled and I was sick by the side of the road
G D
The sun goes down on the town where the sun never rose
D A D C#m Bm
D A G D
D A
I’m waiting for December, I’m waiting for September
D C#m Bm
I’m waiting for the tide to come back in
D A G D
Give me fifteen seconds and I’ll show you around
G D
Where I end is where I begin
G D
There’s nothing inbetween
D A
Kicking a stone along Miranda Street
D C#m Bm
Stepping on cracks in the concrete
D
With a head full of loose change
A
And a pocket full of ideas
G A D A D A
I could walk forever and never get out of here
D A
This is the town where the girl got run down
D C#m Bm
And this is the town where the postman was drowned
D A G D
And this is the town where that foundling was found
G D
And the name round his neck was mine
G A Bm A
How could it ever be so cold in summertime?
G A D
I’m too young to be so old in Summer Town
G D [x4]
Summer Town
