The Things We Did Last Summer
Words & Music by Sammy Cahn & Jule Styne
Recorded by Jo Stafford with The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, 1946
[D7] [G] [Cdim] [Am7] [D9]
The boat rides we would take, the moonlight on the lake,
[G6] [G/F#] [Bm7]-5 [E7]
The way we danced and hummed our fav'rite song;
[Am7] [Cdim] [G] [Edim] [Am7] [D9] [G] [Cdim] [D7]
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long.
[D7] [G] [Cdim] [Am7] [D9]
The midway and the fun, the kewpie dolls we won,
[G6] [G/F#] [Bm7]-5 [E7]
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong;
[Am7] [Cdim] [G] [Edim] [Am7] [D9] [G]
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long.
Bridge:
[Dm7] [G7] [Dm7] [G7]
The early morning hike, the rented tandem bike,
[C] [C/B] [Cdim] [C] [C]/[B]
The lunches that we used to pack;
[Em7] [A7] [Em7] [A7]
We never could explain that sudden summer rain,
[D7] [Edim] [D9] [D7]
The looks we got when we got back.
[D7] [G] [Cdim] [Am7] [D9]
The leaves began to fade like promises we made;
[G6] [G/F#] [Bm7]-5 [E7]
How could a love that seemed to right go wrong?
[Am7] [Cdim] [G] [Edim] [Am7] [D9] [G]
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long.
