^D Summer soft, ^C#7wakes you with a kiss, to star the ^Cmaj7morning off. ^F7b5 In the midst of herself playing ^GSanta Claus, She brings ^A9gifts... through her ^Dbreeze.

^D Morning rain, ^C#7gently plays her rhythms on your ^Cmaj7window pane. ^F7b5 Giving you no clue of when she ^Gplans to change, To bring ^A9rain, or sun-^Dshine.

Bridge 1:

^D And so you wait to see what she'll ^C#7susdo; ^C#7 Is it ^G9sun or rain for you?^F#sus But it ^G/Abreaks your heart in ^Em7two, when ^G/Ayou find ^Dmaj7it's ^Cmaj7Oc -^Bm7to -^A#7ber...

Chorus 1: A7sus G#7b5 Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 And she's gone, and she's gone.

Summer's ^Dmaj7gone, ^G/A taking ^Dmaj7with ^Cmaj7her ^Bmaj7summer's ^Amaj7play...^G/A Verse 2:

^D Winter wind, ^C#7whispers to you that he wants to ^Cmaj7be your friend. ^F7b5 But not waiting for your answer, ^Ghe begins, Forcing ^A9dangers way with his ^Dbreeze.

^D Morning snow, ^C#7plans to have a winter ball for ^Cmaj7you to throw. ^F7b5 But just where or when, he never ^Glets you know, If it's ^A9snow, or clear days you'll ^Dfind.

Bridge 2:

^D And so you wait to see what he'll ^C#7susdo; ^C#7 Is it ^G9sun or snow for you?^F#sus But it ^G/Abreaks your heart in ^Em7two, 'cos ^G/Ayou've been ^Dmaj7fooled ^Cmaj7by ^Bm7Ap -^A#7ril...
