The Things We Did Last Summer
Words & Music by Sammy Cahn & Jule Styne
Recorded by Jo Stafford with The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, 1946
D7 G Cdim Am7 D9
The boat rides we would take, the moonlight on the lake,
G6 G/F# Bm7-5 E7
The way we danced and hummed our fav'rite song;
Am7 Cdim G Edim Am7 D9 G Cdim D7
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long.
D7 G Cdim Am7 D9
The midway and the fun, the kewpie dolls we won,
G6 G/F# Bm7-5 E7
The bell I rang to prove that I was strong;
Am7 Cdim G Edim Am7 D9 G
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long.
Bridge:
Dm7 G7 Dm7 G7
The early morning hike, the rented tandem bike,
C C/B Cdim C C/B
The lunches that we used to pack;
Em7 A7 Em7 A7
We never could explain that sudden summer rain,
D7 Edim D9 D7
The looks we got when we got back.
D7 G Cdim Am7 D9
The leaves began to fade like promises we made;
G6 G/F# Bm7-5 E7
How could a love that seemed to right go wrong?
Am7 Cdim G Edim Am7 D9 G
The things we did last summer, I'll remember all winter long.
