Verse 1
A* G6/A A*
I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
A G6/A A*
It hovered in a frozen sky and it gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold
And all the trees are shivering in a naked row
A G A* Asus4 A*
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go
Chorus 1
G/A D/A A* G/A D/A A
And I get the urge for going, when the meadow grass is turning brown
G/A D/A A* A G A
Summertime is falling down and winter's closing in
Verse 2
A* G6/A A*
I had a me a man in summertime, he had summer colored skin
A G6/A A*
And not another girl in town that darling's heart could win
But when the leaves fell on the ground
And bully winds come around and pushed them face down in the snow
A G A* Asus4 A*
He got the urge for goin', and I had to let him go
Chorus 2
G/A D/A A* G/A D/A A
He got the urge for going when the meadow grass was turning brown
G/A D/A A* A G A
And summertime was falling down and winter was closing in
Verse 3
A* G6/A A*
Now the warriors of winter they give a cold triumphant shout
A G6/A A*
All that stays is dying, all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight
Flapping and a-racin' on before the snow
A G A* Asus4 A*
They got the urge for going and they've got the wings so they can go
Chorus 3
G/A D/A A* G/A D/A A
They get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
G/A D/A A* A G A
Summertime is falling down and winter's closing in

Verse 4
A* G6/A A*
I'll ply the fire with kindling, I'll pull the blankets to my chin
A G6/A A*
I'll lock the vagrant winter out and I'll bolt my wandering in
I'd like to call back summertime
And have her stay for just another month or so
A G A* Asus4 A*
But she's got the urge for going so I guess she'll have to go
Chorus 4
G/A D/A A* G/A D/A A
She's gets the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
G/A D/A A* A G A
And all her empire's falling down and winter's closing in
Outro
G/A D/A A* G/A D/A A
And I get the urge for going when the meadow grass is turning brown
G/A D/A A*
And summertime is falling down
