Summer Nights                                             Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta

 

Bass vamp: D,  G,  A, G-A-G

 

Summer lovin', had me a blast / Summer lovin', happened so fast

D             G      A                 B          E            A      E7                     A

Met a girl crazy for me  / Met a boy cute as can be

D                 G         A                 B                         Em7             A7              D

Summer days drifting away / To, uh oh, those summer nights

 

                                                   D                            G                           E7                                  A7               D

Well-a, well-a, well-a, uh! / (Tell me more, tell me more)  / (Did you get very far?)

(Tell me more, tell me more)  / (Like does he have a car?)

 

She swam by me, she got a cramp / He ran by me, got my suit damp

Saved her life, she nearly drowned / He showed off splashing around

Summer sun, something's begun  / But, uh oh, those summer nights

 

Well-a, well-a, well-a, uh!  / (Tell me more, tell me more) / (Was it love at first sight?)

(Tell me more, tell me more) / (Did she put up a fight?)

 

Took her bowling in the arcade / We went strolling, drank lemonade

We made out under the dock / We stayed out till ten o'clock

Summer fling don't mean a thing / But, uh oh, those summer nights

 

(Tell me more, tell me more) / (But you don't gotta brag)

(Tell me more, tell me more) / ('Cause he sounds like a drag)

 

He got friendly holding my hand / Well, she got friendly down in the sand

He was sweet, just turned eighteen / Well, she was good, you know what I mean

Summer heat, boy and girl meet / But, uh oh, those summer nights

 

(Tell me more, tell me more)  / (How much dough did he spend?)

(Tell me more, tell me more) / (Could she get me a friend?)

 

It turned colder; that's where it ends / So I told her we'd still be friends

D                   G         A                           B          E                A         E7                     A

Then we made our true love vow / Wonder what she's doin' now

D                 G              A                            B                         Em7             A7              D

Summer dreams ripped at the seams / But, oh, those summer nights

 

(Tell me more, tell me more)
