[Verse]
                     A7   Bb           Bbm   F
You've travelled the river from end to end
                       Bb  C                  F
Never found a true love anywhere you've been
          A7           Bb             Bbm    F
You never broke a heart that wouldn't mend
          C              F     Bb  C  F
On such a lovely summer night

[Verse]
                    A7     Bb              Bbm   F
Your hands' in your pockets as the bands begin
                    Bb                 C            F
Stand by the window, a touch of locust in the wind
                  A7                Bb                      Bbm  F
And this might be just one more town you'll say you've been in
          C              F      Bb
On such a lovely summer night

[Chorus]
              C      F                        Bb
You take your chances when you start to roam
                       C                              F
Waiting for slow dances and you ask to walk her home
           A7            Bb                Bbm         F
And if she says, "Please stay", you'll say, "I might"
          C              F
On such a lovely summer night

[Verse]
             A7          Bb                   Bbm   F
You hold her close, yeah, and look her in the eye
                   Bb                           C             F
You make her laugh, then sing that one song to make her cry
                  A7           Bb                    Bbm   F
And maybe this is that one town where there's no goodbye
          C              F
On such a lovely summer night

[Chorus]
              C      F                        Bb
You take your chances when you start to roam
                       C                              F
Waiting for slow dances and you ask to walk her home
           A7            Bb                Bbm         F
And if she says, "Please stay", you'll say, "I might"
          C              F    Bb  C  F
On such a lovely summer night
          C              F
On such a lovely summer night
