   Am
So let's sing.

Never look ahead.

On the water tonight
       G
So we won't drown
        Am
In the summer sound.

 If you find me I'll be sitting by the water fountain
Am                        G
Picket signs, letdowns, meltdown it's Monday morning
Am                  G               Am              G
  But it's alright,   it's alright,   it's alright,   it's alri-
Am                G              Am        G

             Am                 G                         Am             G
Cause in no time, they'll be gone I guess I'll still be standing here.

In the summer sound.
