GC
I walked home to the sun
FG
I couldn't ride another one
GCG
I thought a lot along the lines
GC
And I've been fooled about all night
FG
Wiped clean always by midnight
GCG
Wasn't it like an idiot summer
GCG
Wasn't it like an idiot summer
W/Riff A. (slightly different)
CGC
Three, four peaks all I could see
FG
In the morning it's a hundred and ten degrees
GCG
But I like the goddamn heat
GC
I lie awake half the night
FG
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
GCG
All the autumn that you can see
GCG
All the autumn that you can see
C (w/Fig. 1) G C G C G C G
It's growing darker like the trees
CG
But if all the trees should fall
G
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
C (w/Fig. 1)
(And then we're out of work)
SOLO:
G-C-F-GG-C-F-GG-C-F-GG-C-F-G
It's growing darker like the trees
But if all the trees should fall
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
There's no telling I was so confused
I try but I can't help you choose
Tucson is so far away
I lie awake half the night
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
Wasn't it like an idiot summer...
