 The summer child is running, the summer child is running again 
   G                             D        A 
 When you hear the feet and the sound of laughter 
  G                         D     A 
 Better step aside for the mayhem after

 The summer child is running, the summer child is running again 
 G                             D        A 
 And they're spinning out like old tin tops 
 G                       D          A

 Enter slowly under cherry blossoms

 There is time and time to come, underneath the golden sun 
        G                D           E           G 
 And forever will melt slowly in a glass of lemonade 

     D                           A                        Bm   A 
 And oh shes coming running, and oh shes coming running again
