[Intro]
 
C Am Dm7 G
C Am Dm7 G
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
C      Am Dm7
There's
  G      C    Am Dm7
A summer place
      G      C       Dm7
Where it may rain or storm,
G        C        Dm7
Yet, I'm safe and warm
G       C  Am Dm7
For within
     G      C     Am Dm7
That summer place
     G          C      Dm7  G
Your arms reach out to me

       C        Dm7  G        C    Am Dm7
And my heart is free from all care
G      C     Am Dm7 G
For it knows
 
 
{ CHORUS }
 
          C         G
There are no gloomy skies,
     Am               Em
When seen through the eyes,
   Am            Dm7           G7
Of those who are blessed, with love
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
               C      Am Dm7
And the sweet, secret of
  G      C     Am Dm7
A summer place
   G         C  Dm7
Is that it's anywhere,
G        C      Dm7
When two people share,
G         C     Am Dm7
All their hopes
G         C      Am Dm7
All their dreams
G         C   C7
All their love.
 
 
[Interlude]
 
C Am Dm7 G
C Am Dm7 G
C Dm7 G
C Dm7 G
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
               C      Am Dm7
And the sweet, secret of
  G      C     Am Dm7
A summer place
   G         C  Dm7
Is that it's anywhere,
G        C      Dm7
When two people share,
G         C     Am Dm7
All their hopes
G         C      Am Dm7
All their dreams
G         C   C7
All their love.
