“The Door into Summer”

By Chip Douglas and Bill Martin

performed by the Monkees and Brenda Allen Moser

             G            F              G

1. With his fool’s gold stacked up all around him

        G              F             G

From a killing in the market on the war

      D                 C    G                C

The children left King Midas   there as they found him

        G                    F                  G

In his counting halls where nothing counts but more

           D                  C           G

CH:  He thought he heard the echoes of a penny whistle band

      D              C           G

And laughter from a distant caravan

          D               C              G             C

And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand

 G                  F         G

Fading through the Door into Summer

               G           F                G

2. Well it’s travel on to maybe next year places

       G             F             G

As a trade-in for a name upon the door

    D              C             G                     C               

He pays for every year he cannot   buy back with his tears

         G                 F              G

And he finds that there’s no one keeping score    (Ch 2x)
