Intro
+3 +4 +5 +4 -5 +5 -4

+3 +4 -4 +5 +6 -6 -5 -4

+4 -3 -3"-2 +6 +5

+3   +4  +5 +4  -5 +5  -4
The last of the summer wine,
+3   -3   +4 -4   -5 +5 -4 +4
The sweet bouquet of memories,
+3 +4  -4 +5  +6  -6   -5  -4
Of you and I, as time goes by,
+4 -3   -3 -2 +6  +5
I still remember these.

+3   +4  +5  +4 -5 +5   -4
The last of the summer wine,
+3   -3  +4  -4  -5   +5   -4 +4
When passing shadows still recur,
+3 +4 -4   +5   +6  -6   -5  -4
Of golden days, so young in love,
+4   -3    -3  -2  -4  +4
And that's the way we were.

+3 +4  +5    +4   -5   +5   -4
We had our dreams,To change the
+4 -3 -3 -2 +6   +5
world,As people will,

+3   +4  +5    +4   -5  +5  -4
But now we're known as the folk,
+4   -3  -3 -2  -4  +4
Who live on the hi--ll.

+3   +4  +5 +4  -5 +5   -4
The last of the summer wine,
+3 -3 +4    -4  -5 +5 -4    +4
A  vintage love, a vintage brew,
+3  +4  -4  +5   +6   -6  -5  -4
And now my love this toast I give,
+4    -3  -3  -2 -4 +4
Thank you for being you.
