NOTES:
I've not found a version of this song on the internet, so I decided to create my own.
This is an easily-playable, strum-along version of the song, with easy chords for beginners.
Easy embellishments are adding/removing a 5th on the G chord, a 7th on the Em chord and a sus4 on the D.
If folk tend to like this easy version I'll look at transcribing the more advanced/embellished version.
[Verse 1]
G Em C G
Ah the first summer of love was here when I was much too young

Ah the first summer of love was clearly just a summer long
Em
And there was Jesus on the radio. Jesus on the train...

Jesus in the calico. Jesus in the rain
[Chorus]

Anyone could see that there was lo-o-o-o-ove
C D G
Love all over me
[Verse 2]
G Em C G
Ah the second summer of love is here so tell your angry friends

To throw away their Gaultier and grow their hair again.

Acid in the calico. Acid in the rain.
[Chorus]

Love all over me.

Acid on the radio. Acid on the brain

Acid everywhere you go. Acid in the rain.

Disclaimer:
This is my own interpretation of the song 'Second Summer Of Love' by 'Danny Wilson.'
It is deliberately made simple as an aid for beginner guitarists, and should be taken in that manner.
I accept no responsibility for anyone getting laughed at when performing this live, due to inaccurate
chords or lyrics! I've gigged this exact version live and got a cheer. So there!
