about

San Francisco – 1970 – Angela Davis, Charlie Manson, Black Panthers, Altamont, the Rolling Stones – The Grateful dead - a harrowing account of the dark side of the 'Summer Of Love.'

lyrics

G Am
San Francisco is down the way
C G
I hope we make it by night
Am
I’ve been waiting for this day
C G
I can see it in sight

Golden Gate Bridge is orange and bright
The color makes me feel fine
Into the city we seek out the light
Haight-Ashbury’s on fire

Chorus 2
G Am
Summer of love, Winter of rain
C G
Peace turned to power, And back again
Am
We’re all confused, Someone changed the game
C G
Summer of love, Winter of rain
G Am
I said…Summer of love, Winter of rain
C G
Peace turned to power, And back again

Music 8 bars based on chorus

Verse 2
Oakland is where the action is at
A crash pad where we can all stay
There’s no rent to pay cause it’s a rent strike
So find a mattress to lay

Hell’s Angels and Panthers, the SDS
We’re all here no room for the rest
Somehow the speed has replaced it all
Everybody’s on edge

Chorus 2
Summer of love, Winter of rain
Peace turned to power, And back again
When somebody dies, It changes the game
Summer of Love, Winter of Rain
I said…Summer of love, Winter of rain
Peace turned to power, And back again

D G
Let’s go to LA
D G
It’s time to move on
D G
Let’s go to LA
D G
Put the music, put it on

Instrumental 8 Bars - G Am C G
Summer of love; Winter of rain
Peace turned to power; And back again
We’re all confused, somebody changed the game
Summer of Love, Winter of Rain
Summer of Love ; Winter of Rain
Somebody dies, it changes the game

I said Summer of love; Winter of rain
Peace turned to power; And back again
