Dar Williams
"End of the Summer"
transcribed by Kari Chaussee

Capo third fret

Intro: C   Em   F   G  (4x)

C					Em
Here's wishing you the bluest sky
F		          G              C
 And hoping something better comes tomorrow
		   Em
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
F		         G
And the very best of choruses to
Am	          Em
Follow all the doubt and sadness
C		    	 D                   G
I know that better things are on their way.


Here's hoping that the days ahead
Won't be as bitter as the ones behind you
Be an optimist instead,
And somehow happiness will find you.
Forget what happened yesterday,
I know that better things are on their way.

G7			  	    C
It's really good to see you rocking out
    F	     G
And having fun,
C	    		 F	  G
Living like you've just begun.
C		         F	     G
Accept your life and what it brings,
C		    F        G      C         Em
I hope tomorrow you find better things.
C		    F	        G	     C         Em
I know tomorrow you'll find better things.

Guitar solo interlude (played on top strings)

Here's wishing you the bluest sky
And hoping something better comes tomorrow
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the drudge and sadness
I know that better things are on the way.


I know you've got a lot of good things happening up ahead.
The past is gone, it's all been said.
So here's to what the future brings,
I know tomorrow you'll find better things.
I know tomorrow you'll find better things.

Repeat and fade last two lines.
