VERSE 1
********
G         Dm      F
I awoke today and found
                  Dm     G
The frost perched on the town
   Dm           G
It hovered in a frozen sky
        F              G
Then it gobbled summer down
C                  Bb
When the sun turns traitor cold
    C                 Bb              D         D7
And all the trees are shivering in a naked row


E|E|---------------||--------
CHORUS
*******
  G                F
I get the urge for going
                    G
But I never seem to go
  F       C        G
I get the urge for going
         F      C        G
When the meadow grass is turning brown
F     C       G                          Dm      G
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

VERSE 2
********
  G        Dm     F
I had me a man in summertime
              Dm       G
He had summer-coloured skin
    Dm          G
And not another girl in town
   Dm                    G
My darling's heart could win
    C                    Bb
But when the leaves fell on the ground
C                 Bb
Bully winds came around and
                      D          D7
Pushed them face down in the snow


E|E|---------------||--------
CHORUS
*******
   G                F
He got the urge for going
                    G
But I never seem to go
  F       C        G
I get the urge for going
         F      C         G
When the meadow grass was turning brown
F     C       G                           Dm      G
Summertime is falling down and winter was closing in

VERSE 3
********
        G           Dm F
Now the warriors of winter
                 Dm         G
They gave a cold triumphant shout
    Dm                G
And all that stays is dying
             Dm               G
And all that lives is getting out
C                Bb
See the geese in chevron flight
C            Bb           D            D7
Flapping and racing on before the snow


E|E|---------------||--------
CHORUS
*******
     G                F
They got the urge for going
                         G
And they got the wind so they go
     F       C        G
They get the urge for going
         F      C        G
When the meadow grass is turning brown
F     C       G                          Dm      G
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

VERSE 4
********
     G                 Dm       F
I'll ply the fire with kindling now
                          Dm    G
I'll pull the blankets up to my chin
              Dm      G
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and
     F                  G
I'll bolt my wanderings in
    C                 Bb
I'd like to call back summertime
C                 Bb            D          D7
Have her stay for just another month or so


E|E|---------------||--------
CHORUS
*******
          G                F
But she’s got the urge for going
                          G
So I guess she’ll have to go
    F        C        G
She gets the urge for going
         F      C        G
When the meadow grass is turning brown
    F       D         G
And all her empire is closing down
F     C       G                          Dm      G
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

      G                F
And I get the urge for going
         F      C        G
When the meadow grass is turning brown
    F     C       G
And summertime is falling down
