The End Of Summer

• Gm

INTRO  Gm

VERSE 1

     Gm       Bb      Em7b5      Dm/F
   A house is made of mortar and wood

       Bb    C      Bb  C    Dsus4   D
   Yet sinks in the mud to decay

     Gm      Bb      Fm6          G7sus4  G7 
   A house becomes a ghost in the heart

      Gm             D7       Gm
   Of those who have gone far away


VERSE 2

     Gm      Bb      Em7b5      Dm/F
   A town is born of silver and stone

       Bb  C     Bb   C      Dsus4   D
   And beaten to sand by the tide

     Gm     Bb      Fm6         G7sus4   G7       
   A town becomes a mark on the soul

      Gm             D7           Gm    G
   Of those who will cross that divide


BRIDGE
 
  Em7b5    Ebmaj7       F          Bb7  
   Come unto me,  we'll lie in the grass

      Em7b5     Ebmaj7  D7          Gm
   We won't be ashamed, summer will pass

  Em7b5     Ebmaj7   F             Bb7            
   Felling a tree to hide from the wild

  Em7b5        Ebmaj7   D7        Gm
   Weaving the reeds to cover our child

            
CHORUS      
      
   Cm/F  Gm6     A7          D7
    Save me, the ghost in my heart

   Cm/F  Gm6     Am6        D7  
    Save me, the mark on my soul

   Cm/F  Gm6     A7         D7
    Save me, the end of the summer

   Cm/F  Gm6     Bbadd9         D7
    Save me, I'm  not  feeling whole


VERSE 3

     Gm      Bb      Em7b5        Dm/F
   A clan is made of marriage and blood

       Bb    C    Bb  C    Dsus4   D
   The journey is our only prize

       Gm   Bb     Fm6        G7sus4  G7 
   And if a clan is rent into two
 
       Gm             D7           Gm
   You still have her lips and his eyes

 Save me, the ghost in my heart
 Save me, the mark on my soul
 Save me, the end of the summer
 Save me, I'm not feeling whole


VERSE 4

        Gm      Bb       Em7b5     Dm/F
   This place is made of water and rock

       Bb    C      Bb   C     Dsus4   D
   Yet burns in the pyre of the stars

      Gm       Bb     Fm6           G7sus4  G7
   My love for you is stronger than that
        Gm           D7       Eb*   Eb/DB
   I'll find you wherever you are
 
END

   The town is born of stone

   A clan is made of blood

*if you want to try and hit all the bass root notes in the END,
play the following Eb slash chords. Or just playing a normal
Eb until the D7 sounds okay too.
