1st verse:     He came down through fields of grain on the summer side of life
               G   F        C
               His love was ripe

               You wonder why--ahahy--ahahy  he cried   the whole day long

2nd verse:     There were young girls everywhere on the summer side of life
               They talked all night
               To the young men that they knew on the summer side of life
               Goin off to fight

Chorus:        And if you saw them now                                      C  F  C F,C,G/B,C
               You wonder why--ahahy--ahahy  they would cry   the whole day long

3rd verse:     He came down through fields of grain on the summer side of life
               He prayed all night
               Then he walked in to a house where love had been misplaced
               His chance to waste


Chorus:        And if you saw him now
               You wonder why--ahahy--ahahy  he would cry   the whole day long


Fade out:      And if you saw him now
               You wonder why--ahahy--ahahy
               And if you saw him now
               You wonder why--ahahy--ahahy
               And if you saw him now
               You wonder why--ahahy--ahahy
               And if you saw him now
               You wonder why--ahahy--ahahy
