Pride Of The Summer Chords

Capo on 1st fret
[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
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          G              D
Beat the drum, beat the drum
          Em       C
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
          G
Beat the drum
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                 D              G
  I still see the blood on the knees
G                           Em  D
   The camans swing without warning
G                           D        Em
   The lads in white at the speed of light
      C                   Am   D
   It's good to be young and daring
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
          G              D
Beat the drum, beat the drum
          Em       C
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
          G
Beat the drum
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
G                         D   
   Across the bay I can still 
           G
hear the strains
G                          Em  D
   The two step loud and Blair-ing
     G                  
 We walked hand in hand 
         D      Em
to the accordian band
         C                   Am   D
   It's good to be young and daring
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
          G              D
Beat the drum, beat the drum
          Em       C
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
          G
Beat the drum

[Chorus 4]
 
          G              D
Beat the drum, beat the drum
          Em       C
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
          G
Beat the drum
 
[Verse 4]
 
G                         D              G
   She was the pride of the summer that year
G                            Em  D
   She was my sweetheart, my lady
     G                       
 We walked the black rock and 
    D              Em
we stopped by the loch
         C                   Am   D
   It's good to be young and daring
 
[Chorus 5]
 
          G              D
Beat the drum, beat the drum
          Em       C
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
          G              D
Beat the drum, beat the drum
          Em       C
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
          G              D
Beat the drum, beat the drum
          Em       C
Like a heartbeat, lonely and strong
          G
Beat the drum,
