Verse:
D         D            Bm7
The summer air was soft and warm
          D              G
The feeling right, the Paris night
D          Em       Em
Did its best to please us
A           E         F#m E
And strolling down the Elysee
A      A                D
We had a drink in each cafe
A7 D
And you
D         Bm7       D            G
You talked of politics, philosophy and I
D      G6    A
Smiled like Mona Lisa
Em7       Em6
We had our chance
Em6   Em           Asus4 A
It was a fine and true romance

Chorus:
A          D     F#m      G
I can still recall our last summer
A             D F#m G
I still see it all
A               D   F#7              Bm
Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain
F#m     G
Our last summer
A7               Dsus4
Memories that remain

Verse:
D         D            Bm7
We made our way along the river
          D             G
And we sat down in the grass
D        Em  Em
By the Eiffel tower
A           E     F#m E
I was so happy we had met
A      A              D
It was the age of no regret
A7 D
Oh yes
D         Bm7       D        G
Those crazy years, that was the time
D      G6    A
Of the flower-power
Em7       Em6
But underneath we had a fear of flying
Em6   Em           Asus4 A
Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying
Em7       Em6
We took the chance
Em6   Em           Asus4 A
Like we were dancing our last dance

Chorus:
A          D     F#m      G
I can still recall our last summer
A          D  F#m  G
I still see it all
A               D   F#7              Bm
In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame
F#m     G
Our last summer
A7               Dsus4
Walking hand in hand

D         D            Bm7
Paris restaurants our last summer
          D   G
Morning croissants
D        Em  Em
Living for the day, worries far away
A         E F#m E
Our last summer
A      A          D
We could laugh and play
A7 D
And now youʼre working in a bank
D         Bm7       D     G
The family man, the football fan
D      G6    A
And your name is Harry
Em7       Em6
How dull it seems
Em6   Em           Asus4 A
Are you the hero of my dreams

Chorus:
A          D     F#m      G
I can still recall our last summer
A             D F#m G
I still see it all
A               D   F#7              Bm
Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain
F#m     G
Our last summer
A7               Dsus4
Memories that remain

A          D     F#m      G
I can still recall our last summer
A          D  F#m  G
I still see it all
A               D   F#7              Bm
In the tourist jam, round the Notre Dame
F#m     G
Our last summer
A7               Dsus4
Walking hand in hand

D         D            Bm7
Paris restaurants our last summer
          D   G
Morning croissants
D        Em  Em
Living for the day, worries far away...
