The usual version of this song is with a tuning which is half a tone lowered. When playing with standard tuning, the chords should be lowered half a tone. Than you get this beast:
Intro D#m A# C# A# Verse 1 D#m Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach. A# I feel it in the air, the summer's out of reach. C# Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone. A# I'm driving by your house, though I know your not home. Chorus F# C# But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun. A# You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby. F# C# I can tell you my love for you will still be strong A# After the boys of summer have gone. |
Verse 2 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, baby, when I get you back, I'm gonna show you what I'm made of. Chorus F# C# But I can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun. A# You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby. F# C# I can tell you my love for you will still be strong A# After the boys of summer have gone. |
Bridge D#m A# A# C# A# A# C# G# A# C# A# D#m A# C# A# Verse 3 Out on the road today I saw a Black Flag 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 Chorus (2x) |
