The Last Of The Summer Wine Theme
Misc Television
Theme tune from the world's longest running comedy series. I have included three
lyric versions (same chords). The first were written by Roy Clarke the original creator of 
the series, the second version written by Bill Owen (Compo) and the third version written 
for Compo's funeral after Bill Owen passed away in 1999.

Tabbed from a youtube video - capo on 3, key =  

-    

The colour of summer's gone
Of golden days when I was young
Of girls who came but soon moved on
Is in my summer wine

The perfumes of earth and vine
Of meadows when the rain has gone
Of women with their finery on
Is in my summer wine

Bridge
The memories I can see here in my cup
Of sweet short days bitter days
Now all drunk up

The taste of the life that slips
From day to day through fingers blind
The honey from the woman's lips
Is in my summer wine 

Bill Owen's (Compo)lyrics

The last of the summer wine
The sweet bouquet of memories
Of you and I as time goes by
I still remember these

The last of the summer wine
When passing shadows still recur
Of golden days so young in love
And that's the way we were

Bridge
We had our dreams to change the world as people will
But now we're known as the folk
Who live on the hill

The last of the summer wine
A vintage love a vintage brew
And now my love this toast I give
Thank you for being you 

Compo's funeral lyrics

Now all of his summer's gone 
Those urgent days when he was young 
Those girls he loved but soon moved on
To drink his summer wine

Now perfumes of earth and vine 
Of meadows when the rain has gone
These friends with their black armbands on
Salute his summer wine 

Bridge
The memories he left to me here in my cup
Of sweet short days bitter days
Now all drunk up

The fullness of the life that slipped
The other day all mortal pain 
Free now to roam fresh hills and lanes 
And taste eternal wine
