  See the paper laying on the sidewalk,
  |D                    |A              |E   |Am7
A little music from the house next do-o-or,

  Through the screen and across the flo-o-or.

Sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom,
|Em7    |Am7           |Em7        |Am7
July is dressed up and playing her tune,
           |Am7/D (x55555) |        |D6  (x57777) |
And I come home              from a hard day's    work

And you're waiting there,

Not a care in the       wo-o-o------------orld.
 
verse 3
|E               |G 
  See the smile awaiting in the kitchen, 
|D                     |A               |E   |Am7
  Food cooking and the plates for two-o-o.
|E                   |G                   
  Feel the arms that reach out to hold me

  In the evening when the day is thro-o-ough.

   Summer breeze,     makes me feel fine
