Chords
This version is from the new Dusk and Summer album. It's a bit weird to play on guitar
it's meant for piano but I've transcribing it to sound good on acoustic. You should be
to play along to the song with this tab or play solo and sound good as long as you tune
half step down.
[Intro]
F-Dm-Am-G
[Verse 1]
F Dm Am Hand out the window flotain' on air G F Dm-Am-G Just a flip of the wrist and I am waving you goodbye F Dm Am G Drive past the lifeguard stand where I'd sit around waiting for you to F Dm-Am-G remember Am As I drive
[Chorus]
F Dm How the girls can turn to ghosts before you eyes Am G And the very dreams that lead to them are keeping them from dying F Dm And how the grace with which she walked into your life Am G Will stay with you in your steps and pace with you a while F For so long so long F-Dm-Am-G So long, So long
[Verse 2]
F Dm Am G
F The speaker in this door is blown so nothing sounds quite right Dm Am G F Taking my time taking this drive waving this town goodbye Dm Am G F And I drive this ocean road and remember F Dm Am The smell of your back the nape of your neck I remember everything Am As I drive Am I'm wavin' this town goodbye.
[Chorus]
[Super-lame bah dah dah vocal part]
F-Dm-Am-G
[Refrain]
F Dm Am And I will leave under the cover of summer's kiss upon the sky Dm G Like the stone face of your lover just before she says goodbye Dm Am And I was thinking that the season could be held between my arms Dm F Dm-Am-G But just as summer's hold is fleeting I was here but now I'm gone F-Dm-Am-G I'm gone
[End]
F-Dm-Am-G Make sure the song ends on G and if you're cool, don't do the lame dah dah dum vocal
especially at the end.
