C G [Chorus] C The painted desert G Can wait till summer C We've played this game of just imagine long enough G Wait 'till summer? [Verse 1] Bm11 Em D When I'm sure the rains have ended, the blooms have gone, Em D Everyone killed by the morning frost. C G C G Is a cactus blooming there in every roadside stand C G D C Where the big deal is cowboy gear sewn in Japan? [Chorus] C The painted desert G Can wait till summer C We've played this game of just imagine long enough G Wait 'till summer? [Verse 2] Bm11 Em D When I'm sure the rains have ended, the blooms have gone, Em D Everyone killed by the morning frost. C G Is a cactus blooming there C G Upon the northern rim C G D Or in the ruins of the Hopi Mesa dens? [Bridge] Dm F C You met a new friend in the canyon Am Or so you wrote C Am On a blanket in the cooling sand C Am You and your friend a-greed that D Dm The stars were so many there G They seemed to overlap [Chorus] C The painted desert G Can wait till summer C We've played this game of just imagine long enough G Wait 'till summer? [Verse 3] Bm11 Em D When I'm sure the rains have ended, the blooms have gone, Em D Everyone killed by the morning frost. C G Is a cactus blooming there C G As you watched the native boy? C G D In flagstaff trailer court, you wrote the line C G "He kicked a tumbleweed C G And his mother called him home C G Where the Arizona moon D Met the Arizona sun" C G C G I wanted to be there by May at the latest time C G D Isn't that the plan we had or have you changed your mind? C G C G I haven't heard a word from you since Phoenix or Tucson C G D April is over, will you tell me how long C Before I can be there?
