Version 1...SUMMER SOFT... by Stevie Wonder -----------------................. *from 'Songs in the Key of Life' (1976)* *CAPO 4th FRET* (Original Key: F#) Intro: D Verse 1: D C#7 Cmaj7 Summer soft, wakes you with a kiss, to star the morning off. F7b5 G In the midst of herself playing Santa Claus, A9 D She brings gifts... through her breeze. D C#7 Cmaj7 Morning rain, gently plays her rhythms on your window pane. F7b5 G Giving you no clue of when she plans to change, A9 D To bring rain, or sun-shine. Bridge 1: D C#7sus C#7 And so you wait to see what she'll do; G9 F#sus Is it sun or rain for you? G/A Em7 G/A Dmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 A#7 But it breaks your heart in two, when you find it's Oc -to -ber... Chorus 1: A7sus G#7b5 Gm7 C9 Gm7 C9 And she's gone, and she's gone. Dmaj7 G/A Dmaj7 Cmaj7 Bmaj7 Amaj7 G/A Summer's gone, taking with her summer's play... Verse 2: D C#7 Cmaj7 Winter wind, whispers to you that he wants to be your friend. F7b5 G But not waiting for your answer, he begins, A9 D Forcing dangers way with his breeze. D C#7 Cmaj7 Morning snow, plans to have a winter ball for you to throw. F7b5 G But just where or when, he never lets you know, A9 D If it's snow, or clear days you'll find. Bridge 2: D C#7sus C#7 And so you wait to see what he'll do; G9 F#sus Is it sun or snow for you?
