Intro: G Am7
G Am7 C D (x2)
GC
Three or four miles down a red dirt road
ADGCAD7
An' a green-eyed girl an' I used to go to see her-----
GC
I'd pull up the drive an' she'd jump in
Am7DGCAmD
An' we'd head off down around the bend to the river----
GC
Find a perfect spot an' throw a blanket on the ground
Am7DGCAm7D
Sit there talkin', till the sun went down-- about nothin
CG/BAm7G/B
Then one hot day in June,
CG/BAm7G/B
The clouds rolled in right out of the blue.
CG/BAmD
As we ran for cover, I could smell her perfume, in that...
Chorus:
GAC7
Sweet-------
DGDm7
Sweet summer rain
GAC7
Oh, that sweet-------
DGDm7
Sweet summer rain
GC
We were jumpin' an' a-runnin' an' a-laughin' out loud.
Am7DGCAm7D
The sky opened up like the bottom fell out of Heaven, yeah.
GC
We dove in the car, turned the radio on,
Am7DGCAm7D
Sat there soakin', singing along with Elton, Bennie And The Jets.
CG/BAm7G/B
She turned an' looked my way,
CG/BAm7G/B
Those raindrops slowly runnin' down on her face.
CG/BAmD
I reached out an' kissed her, well I remember the taste, of that..
CHORUS
EmC
Sweet summer rain, it keeps blowin' through my mind
Am7C
Even after all this time, I can't forget that moment
D
Yeah, we were fallin', just like that...
