Tonart: E major•
Verse 1
E
The streets are almost empty,
the shops are all closed down
G#m
There's not a soul left in the bar
to tell my troubles to
C#m
Think I will walk down to the river
that heads just south of town
when there ain't nothin' left to do
E
B
But stand beneath the river bridge
C#m
E
A
E
and listen for the train
A
C#m
It's been a long hot summer,
B
E
not a drop of rain
I broke down in December,
headed for the coast
G#m
I thought the wind and water
would elevate my mind
C#m
I sur faced in the springtime,
feeling like a ghost
the things I left behind
E
B
Now I'm standing on this riverbank,
C#m
A
E
and still
A
C#m
It's been a long hot summer,
B
E
not a drop of rain
My bag is full of letters,
unopened and unread
G#m
I'm sure they tell the story
of worry and of form
C#m
My heart is beating heavy
with all we left unsaid
G#m
A
I swear to you I
never meant you any harm
E
B
The sacrifice and compromise
C#m
A
could never stand this strain
C#m
It's been a long hot summer,
B
E
not a drop of rain
Tonight I'll close my eyes again,
try to see your face
G#m
Listen for your voice
to tell me it's alright to sleep
I'll wake up in another time and place
it's a promise I can't keep
E
A string of broken promises,
B
A
another link of change
C#m
It's been a long hot summer,
B
E
not a drop of rain
The children on the plane,
the lovers in the shade
G#m
Remind me of a life in time
E
that feels more like a dream
C#m
When the sound of love and laughter
was the music that we played
G#m
A
As we lay beside the waters
of a never -ending stream
E
B
Now the stream's gone into hiding,
E
A
the dream lives on in vain
C#m
It's been a long hot summer,
B
E
F#m
A
E
A
not a drop of rain
E
The clouds are building slowly,
on the skyline to the east
G#m
The wind and dust are dancing,
like the devil crossed the lake
E
C#m
I could try to find a bottle,
or try to find a priest
A
Salvation won't be trouble,
either road I take
E
B
So I'll turn my collar to the wind
C#m
A
E
A
that echoes this refrain
C#m
It's been a long hot summer,
E
