Lyrics

The sum mer (Bm)air was soft and (Em)warm, the feel ing (G)right, the Par is (Am)night did its best to please us.

And strol ling (A)down the E ly (Bm)sée

we had a (Am)drink in each ca (Bm)fé, (D7)and (G)you,

you talked of (Em)pol i tics, phi (G)los o phy and (Am)I

smiled like Mo na Li sa.

We had our chance,

it was a fine and true ro (Am)mance.

I can still re (G)call

(Bm)our last (C)sum mer, (D)I still see it (G)all,

(D)walks a long the (G)Seine,

(B)laugh ing in the (Em)rain,

(Bm)our last (C)sum mer, (D)mem ’ries that re (G)main.

We made our (Bm)way a long the (Em)riv er and we (G)sat down in the (Am)grass

by the Eif fel Tow er.

I was so (A)hap py we had (Bm)met,

it was the (Am)age of no re (Bm)gret,

(D7)oh

(G)yes.

Those cra zy (G)years, that was the (Am)time

of the flow er pow er,

but un der neath

we had a fear of fly ing, of get ting old,

a fear of slow ly dy ing.

We took the chance

like we were danc ing our last (D)dance.

I can still re (G)call

(Bm)our last (C)sum mer, (D)I still see it (G)all,

(D)in the tour ist (G)jam (B)’round the No tre (Em)Dame, (D)our last (C)sum mer, (D)walk ing hand in (G)hand, (D)Par is res tau (G)rants, (Bm)our last (C)sum mer, (D)morn ing cro is (G)sants,

(D)liv ing for the (G)day, (B)wor ries far a (Em)way, (Bm)our last (C)sum mer, (D)we could laugh and (Csus)play.

And now you’re (Bm)work in’ in a (Em)bank, a fam ’ly (G)man, a foot ball (Am)fan, and your name is Har ry.

How dull it seems,

yet you’re the he ro of my (D)dreams.

I can still re (G)call (Bm)our last (C)sum mer, (D)I still see it (G)all,

(D)walks a long the (G)Seine, (B)laugh ing in the (Em)rain, (Bm)our last (C)sum mer, (D)mem ’ries that re (G)main.

(D)I can still re (G)call (Bm)our last (C)sum mer, (D)I still see it (G)all,

(D)in the tour ist (G)jam (B)’round the No tre (Em)Dame, (Bm)our last (C)sum mer, (D)walk ing hand in (G)main.

(D)I can still re (G)hand.

Our Last Summer by ABBA — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Our Last Summer” by ABBA in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of G at 100 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
