It’s just a love affair, ocean isles

To slip inside a dream’s not hard to do
Am C Am Bb F
Oh lover you know, Oh lover you know
Chorus:
C F C Bb
All summer spent collecting skies,
C F C Bb
All summer long.
C F C Bb
All summer spent collecting skies,
C F
All summer, Oh
Solo: F Gm Bb F
F Gm
The old times burning down as I saw the flames,
Bb F
Well I left your name on Stockholm shore.
F Gm
And as the sun leant all across Oslo isles,
Bb F
Saw your silver smile in skies once more
Am C Am Bb
Oh lover you know, Oh lover you know
Am C F
that I was coming back to you
C F C Bb
All summer spent collecting skies,
C F C Bb
All summer long
C F C Bb
All summer spent collecting skies,
C F C Bb
All summer long.
