Pride Of The Summer

	  		

Intro: G 


G                 D              G 
I still hear the snares in the square 
G                     Em   D 
Colours ablaze in the evening 
G                           D     Em 
The air was still down the stormy hill 
      C                   Am   D 
It's good to be young and daring 


          G 
Beat the drum 
          D 
Beat the drum 
          Em 
Like a heartbeat 
 C           D 
Lonely and strong 
          G 
Beat the drum 



Bridge: G C G



I still see the blood on the knees 
The camans swing without warning 
The lads in white 
At the speed of light 
It's good to be young and daring 

(Chorus) 

Across the bay I still hear the strains 
The two step loud and Blairing 
We walked hand in hand 
To the accordion band 
It's good to be young and daring 

(Chorus) 

She was the pride of the summer that year 
She was my sweetheart, my lady 
We walked the black rock 
And we stopped by the loch 
It's good to be young and daring 

(Chorus)
