A         Em      G 
I awoke today and found  
                  Em     A 
the frost perched on the town 
   Em           A 
It hovered in a frozen sky  
        G              A 
then it gobbled summer down 
D                  C 
When the sun turns traitor cold  
    D                 C              E         E7 
and all the trees are shivering in a naked row
[Refrain]
  A                G 
I get the urge for going 
                    A  Asus2 A 
But I never seem to go 
  G       D        A 
I get the urge for going 
         G      D        A 
When the meadow grass is turning brown 
G     D       A                          Em      A 
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
[Strophe]
  A        Em     G 
I had me a man in summertime 
              Em      A 
He had summer-colored skin 
    Em          A 
And not another girl in town 
   Em                    A 
My darling's heart could win 
    D                    C 
But when the leaves fell on the ground 
D                 C 
Bully winds came around and 
                      E          E7 
Pushed them face down in the snow
[Refrain]
   A                G 
He got the urge for going 
                    A  Asus2 A 
But I never seem to go 
  G       D        A 
I get the urge for going 
         G      D         A 
When the meadow grass was turning brown 
G     D       A                           Em      A 
Summertime is falling down and winter was closing in
[Strophe]
        A           Em  G 
Now the warriors of win ter  
                 Em         A 
They gave a cold triumphant shout 
    Em                A 
And all that stays is dying  
             Em               A 
And all that lives is gettin' out 
D                C 
See the geese in chevron flight  
D            C           E            E7 
Flapping and racing on before the snow
[Refrain]
     A                G 
They got the urge for going 
                         A      Asus2 A 
And they got the wind so they go 
     G       D        A 
They get the urge for going 
         G      D        A 
When the meadow grass is turning brown 
G     D       A                          Em      A 
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

[Strophe]
     A                 Em       G 
I'll ply the fire with kindling now 
                          Em    A 
I'll pull the blankets up to my chin 
              Em      A 
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and 
     G                  A 
I'll bolt my wanderings in 
    D                 C 
I'd like to call back summertime 
D                 C            E          E7 
Have her stay for just another month or so
[Refrain]
          A                G 
But she’s got the urge for going 
                          A  Asus2 A 
So I guess she’ll have to go 
    G        D        A 
She gets the urge for going 
         G      D        A 
When the meadow grass is turning brown 
    G       E         A 
And all her empire is closing down 
G     D       A                          Em      A 
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in
[Refrain]
      A                G 
And I get the urge for going 
         G      D        A 
When the meadow grass is turning brown 
    G     D       A 
And summertime is falling down
