Verse 1
[D] [D/C#] [D/B]
The summer air was soft and warm
[D/A] [G]
The feeling right, the Paris night
[D/F#] [Em] [Em/D]
Did its best to please us
[A] [E/G#] [Asus2/F#] [E]
And strolling down the Elysee
[A] [A7/G] [D/F#] [A/E]
We had a drink in each café - e
Verse 2
[D]
And you
[D] [A/C#] [D/B] [D/A]
You talked of politics, philosophy
[G] [D/F#] [G6] [A]
And I smiled like Mona Lisa
[Em7] [Em6]
We had our chance
[Cmaj7/E] [Em] [Asus4] [A] [Asus2] [ [A] ]
It was a fine and true romance
Chorus
[A] [D] [F#m] [G]
I can still recall our last summer
[A] [D] [F#m] [G]
I still see it all
[A] [D] [F#7] [Bm]
Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain
[A] [G]
Our last summer
[A7] [Dsus4]
Memories that remain
Verse 3
[D] [D/C#] [D/B]
We made our way along the river
[D/A] [G]
And we sat down in the grass
[D/F#] [Em] [Em/D]
By the Eiffel tower
[A] [E/G#] [Asus2/F#] [E]
I was so happy we had met
[A] [A7/G] [D/F#] [A/E] [ [D] ]
It was the age of no regret, oh, yes
Verse 4
[D] [A/C#] [D/B] [D/A] [G]
[link] Those crazy years, that was the time
[D/F#] [G6] [A]
Of the flower-power
[Em7] [Em6] [Cmaj7/E] [Em]
But underneath we had a fear of flying
[Em7] [Em6] [Cmaj7/E] [Em]
Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying
[Em7] [Em6] [Cmaj7/E] [Em] [Asus4] [A] [Asus2] [ [A] ]
We took the chance like we were dancing our last dance

[A] [D] [F#m] [G]
I can still recall our last summer
[A] [D] [F#m] [G]
I still see it all

In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame

Our last summer
[A7] [Dsus4] [D]
Walking hand in ha - and
Chorus
[A] [D] [F#m] [G]
Paris restaurants - our last summer
[A] [D] [F#m] [G]

Our last summer
[A7] [Dsus4]
We could laugh and play

[D] [D/C#] [D/B]
And now you're working in a bank
[D/A] [G]
The family man, the football fan
[D/F#] [Em] [Em/D]
And your name is Harry
[A/C#]
How dull it seems
