Intro:

D

Verse 1:

D             C#7                                C7
 Summer soft, wakes you with a kiss, to star the morning off.
B7                               G
 In the midst of herself playing Santa Claus,
           Em7     A7           D
She brings gifts... through her breeze.

D              C#7                              C7
 Morning rain, gently plays her rhythms on your window pane.
B7                              G
 Giving you no clue of when she plans to change,
         Em7   A7     D
To bring rain, or sun-shine.

Bridge 1:

D                                   C#7
 And so you wait to see what she'll do;
      C7              B7
Is it sun or rain for you?
       G                    Em7
But it breaks your heart in two,
     A7       D    C  Bm A#
When you find it's Oc-to-ber...

Chorus 1:

D          Gm7   C7
 And she's gone,
          Gm7   C7
And she's gone.
         Dmaj7  Em7
Summer's gone,
       D    C   Bm  A#    Em7   A
Taking with her sum-mer's play...

Verse 2:

D             C#7                              C7
 Winter wind, whispers to you that he wants to be your friend.
B7                                G
 But not waiting for your answer, he begins,
        Em7     A7           D
Forcing dangers way with his breeze.

D              C#7                             C7
 Morning snow, plans to have a winter ball for you to throw.
B7                                G
 But just where or when, he never lets you know,
        Em7      A7                D
If it's snow, or clear days you'll find.

Bridge 2:

D                                   C#7
 And so you wait to see what she'll do;
      C7              B7
Is it sun or rain for you?
       G                    Em7
But it breaks your heart in two,
                 D      C  Bm A#
'Cos you've been fooled by Ap-ril...

You've been fooled by Ap -ril...
