Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams
The verses are just D A D A ... as many as needed with the change
occurring on every second bar. There is an additional two bars of D
at the start as well.
The way to play it is something like this:
D. . . . . . . . D. . . . . . . .
|-----------------|-----------------||-----------------|-----------------|
|-3-----3---------|-----------------||-3-----3---------|-------------3---|
|-2---2-2---2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-----||-2---2-2---2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---|
|-0---0-0---0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---||-0---0-0---0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---|
|-----------------|-------------0---||-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------||-----------------|-----------------|
A. . . . . . . .
|-----------------|-----------------||
|-----------------|-----------------|| repeat last 4 bars throughout
|-2-----2---------|-------------2---|| verses.
|-2---2-2---2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---||
|-0---0-0---0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---||
|-----------------|-----------------||
The dots show the beat.
Use moderate amounts of overdrive, and mute the 2's with your palm to get
the distinctive percussive sound. 0
The Chorus chords are |Bm|A|D|G|Bm|A|D|G|Bm|A| (I use B instead of Bm)
use standard open A,D, and G and a barred A shape for B.
The keyboard riff is sort of an arpegiated D and A ie.
D A
|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0---2---|-----------------|------------------|
|---3-----3-----3-|-----3-----------|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0----2---|

|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|

This sounds a bit messy with overdrive, so play it clean, or (even easier)
just play the melody part (which is mainly what you hear on the CD anyway)
e|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0---2---|-----------------|------------------|
b|-----------------|-----------------|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0---2----|
For the key change after the second chorus, the chords are:
|F|Bb|C|Bb|F|Bb|C|C| again use the barred A shape for Bb and C.
That's about all for Summer of '69
