SUMMER OF DRUGS (Victoria Williams)

performed by Soul Asylum

Intro: E

E A B E

Sister got bit by a copperhead snake in the woods behind the house

E A B E

And nobody was home so I grabbed her foot and I sucked that poison out

A

Sister got better in a month or two when the swelling it went down

E A B E

But I started off my teenage years with a poison in my mouth

Chorus:

A E A E

And we were too young to be hippies missed out on love

A E E B A

Return to our teen in the late seventies in a summer of the drugs

E A B E

Mommy and Daddy could never understand that life was never cold

E A B E

Their idea of a rollicking town was a kitchen tap appall

A

Acid, grass, downs and speed, junked us days were made of

E A B E

How could they suspect those kids where the monsters eat their makers

Chorus:

A E A E

And they were too young to be hippies missed out on love

A E

We learned from the teens of the late seventies in a

E B E

Summer of the drugs

F# D

Boys and girls in every town

F# C#

Sandman spread his sand around

F# B D C# B

Now we are just waking up from a summer of drugs

A E A

Hey hey (hey hey), woh woh (woh woh), uh-huh (uh-huh)

E A E

Hey yeah (hey yeah), hey hey (hey hey), woh woh (woh woh)

E B A

Oh yeah yeah yeah

E A B E

Mommies and Daddies are too shy to talk about those birds and bees

E A B E

Integrated schools had stopped, facts of life please

A

Girls and boys went away came back, empty after weekend

E A B E

The talk on the phone consisted of a hush, voices speaking

Chorus:

A E A E

And they were too young to be hippies missed out on love

A E E B E

Return to our teen in the late seventies in a summer of the drugs

A E

And they were too young (too young)

A E

And they were too fast (too fast)

A E E B E

Oh, the summer of drugs

A E A E A E A E ...
