It's come. It's the
End of Summer. |

My homeward way, I must
weave |

My darling, my love stays
with you |
C G
Am
Though I, myself, must leave. |
Der Sommer ist leider vorüber
Unser Liebe, trotzdem nicht
vorbei
Aber Ich müss', ja,
weider 'rüber
Und du, bleibst, doch, hier,
Lorelei. |
Soon, the dry leaves will
chatter
All along this valley so
low
And the golden fields of
autumn
Will glisten with ice and
with snow |
But I'll return in the springtime
'Til then, my heart stays
with you
So watch 'til the end of
winter
When I'll return to you |
Was kann' Ich Dir noch sagen?
Schleiss Deine Augen bis
Zehn.
Noch 'nen Kuss. Bitte,
keine Fragen.
Ich liebe Dich. Auf
wiederseh'n. |

 This
page, for the guitar freaks, not only provides lyrics and chords, but an
overview of the unique collection of "axes" that Travis strummed and picked
over the years. This picture, taken in Portsmouth, Virginia, in 1966,
just prior to Travis' discharge from the Navy, shows him with his first
German-made Framus, a six string triple pickup electric solid body, one
of nine guitars (and two banjos) Travis would own and play on stage and
in recording studios. For his solo coffee house routines, his first
hollow body acoustic was a Goya with a rich, crisp sound. A Goya
twelve string hollow body accoustic, a Framus dual pickup hollow body electric,
a Yamaha steel string, a Yamaha classical guitar, and a dual pickup hollow
body six string Gibson electric that his youngest brother, Adam, still
plays, rounded out his touring collection. He also had a standard
five string banjo and a beautiful extended neck five string banjo with
genuine mother of pearl inlay! Today, Travis has only one guitar,
a Taylor model 510 six string hollow body acoustic which he occasionally
plays for close friends, but mostly just keeps close to hand in case he
suddenly becomes inspired. |
