[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
D
  I think you're funny
D
  You think I'm smart
D
  'Cause I can name the planets
D7
  All by heart
G
  Almost touching
G
  But too shy to start
G
  Eyes wide open
G
  It's way past dark

[Chorus]
     Bm                 F#m
It's too late to sleep now
    G
The valley's wide awake
            D              A
The early train's pulling out
Bm                 F#m
Too wired to come down
         Gm
It's the last day of summer
And the first kiss on
            D
 my lover's mouth
  G Bm  A
Oooh, oooh

[Verse 2]
D
  Did you get married
D
  Or did you wait?
D
  Did you ever build that house
D7
  Down by the lake?
G
  Nights still find me
G
  Lying awake
G
  'Cause every time
I close my eyes
G
  I see your face

[Chorus]
     Bm          F#m
It's too late to sleep now
    G
The valley's wide awake
           D               A
The early train's pulling out
Bm                F#m
Too high to come down
         Gm
It's the last day of summer

And the first kiss on
            D    D7
my lover's mouth

[Bridge]
            G
Oh the last time we were together
        D
Is the first thing I remember
G                     D
Every time September comes
            Bm                 F#m
Oh but it's too late to sleep now
    Gm
The last day of summer
And the first kiss on
             D
 my lover's mouth
  G Bm  A
Oooh, oooh
D   G Bm  A
  Oooh, oooh

          D
The last time we
were together
        G
Is the first thing
 I remember
Bm                    A
Every time September comes
          D
The last time we were together
        G
Is the first thing I remember
Bm                    A
Every time September comes
         Bm
But it's too late to

 sleep now
         Gm
It's the last day of summer
And the first kiss on
             Dmaj7
my lover's mouth

How to play Last Day Of Summer: key, chords and progression

These are Last Day Of Summer chords by Shania Twain on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Last Day Of Summer by Shania Twain is centred on D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯). The song uses 8 chords: D, D7, G, Bm, F#m, A, Gm and Dmaj7.

The progression the song keeps returning to is D – G – Bm – A (I – IV – vi – V in D major), a pop progression that moves to the vi before resolving through V. In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – soh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: Bm, F#m and Gm are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
