The sum mer (D)air was soft and (Bm7)warm, the feel ing (D)right, the Par is (G)night (D)did its best to (Em)please us.

And stroll ing (E)down the E ly (Esus)sée

we had a (A)drink in each ca (D)fé, (A7)and (D)you,

you talked of (Bm7)pol i tics, phi (D)los o phy and (G)I (D)smiled like Mo na (G6)Li sa.

We had our chance,

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

I can still re (D)call (F#m)our last (G)sum mer, (A)I still see it (D)all,

(A)walks a long the (D)Seine, (F#7)laugh ing in the (Bm)rain, (Dmaj7)our last (G)sum mer, (A)mem ’ries that re (Dsus)main.

We made our (D)way a long the (Bm7)riv er and we (D)sat down in the (G)grass (D)by the Eif fel (Em)Tow er.

I was so (E)hap py we had (Esus)met,

it was the (A)age of no re (D)gret, (A7)oh (D)yes.

Those cra zy (D)years, that was the (G)time (D)of the flow er (G6)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 (Asus)dance.

I can still re (Dsus)hand, (A)Par is res tau (D)rants, (F#m)our last (G)sum mer, (A)morn ing cro is (D)sants,

And now you’re (D)work in’ in a (Bm7)bank, a fam ’ly (D)man, a foot ball (G)fan, (D)and your name is (Em)Har ry.

How dull it seems,

yet you’re the he ro of my (A)dreams.

I can still re (D)call (F#m)our last (G)sum mer, (A)I still see it (D)all,

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a wonderful workout for smooth chord transitions — with 20 chords in play, your hands need to stay relaxed and move efficiently between shapes like D, Dmaj7, and D7, where often just one finger shifts.

Pay special attention to the walking bass pattern in your left hand; at 112 BPM it should feel like a gentle stroll, not a sprint, so practice that hand alone first until the movement feels automatic.

The trickiest spots will likely be transitions involving F#7 to Bm7 and the sus4 chords (Dsus4, Asus4, Esus4), where you need to hold common tones and only lift the fingers that actually move.

Loop those specific changes at half tempo until they're clean before speeding up.

Use light sustain pedal to connect the ballad feel, but change it with each new bass note to avoid mud.

This is the piece that will genuinely build your confidence moving through extended and suspended chords — once these shapes are under your fingers, you'll recognize them everywhere in pop music.
