Pride of the summer (video)

G ~ ~

G D Em

1. I still hear the snares in the square,

G C Em D

colours ablaze in the evening,

G D Em

the air was still down the stormy hill,

C AmD

it’s good to be young and daring.

G D

Beat the drum, beat the drum,

Em C D G

like a heartbeat, lonely and strong, beat the drum.

G D Em

2. I still see the blood on the knees,

G C Em D

the camans swing without warning,

G D Em

the lads in white at the speed of light,

C AmD

it’s good to be young and daring.

+ CHORUS

G D Em

3. Across the bay I can still hear the strains,

G C EmD

the two step loud and blairing,

G D Em

we walked hand in hand to the accordion band,

C Am G D

it’s good to be young and daring.

+ CHORUS + G ~ ~ G ~ ~ + CHORUS

G D Em

4. She was the pride of the summer that year,

G C EmD

she was my sweetheart, my lady,

G D Em

we walked the black rock and we stopped by the loch,

C AmD

it’s good to be young and daring.

+ CHORUS (3x) + G ~ ~ .....
