Intro
***** USE NECK PICKUP *****
Verse
The rhythm played underneath the verse is simply an easy A7 arpeggio
(Once each per line - 8x total)
(Conversely it can be played even easier if you wish - I play this)
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though I know you're not at home
Chorus
(eh, close enough for government work - arpeggiate as you like)
Play 2x
***** Switch to BRIDGE PICKUP *****
G D | D D C(add9)
But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
***** Switch to NECK PICKUP *****
P
Repeat Verse
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
(Distorted fill near end of verse)
***** Switch to BRIDGE PICKUP *****
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
Repeat Chorus
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Bridge:
(Simple open string G chord arpeggio - This rings better)
(Conversely it can be played even easier if you wish)
Interlude
(May be played as what's comfortable to you but these are the notes sounded)
Repeat Verse:
(The seagull sounds may be a synth effect but can be created by scraping the pick against the higher strings with a delay effect. A metal pick works even better, i.e. a dime)
Out on the road today, I saw a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-
Repeat Chorus: (2X)
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Outro:
(Perhaps played by two guitars (2 tracks), but very easily done with one.)
(The first time through play the first bar, and 2nd time play the 2nd bar)
