Intro:
D|C|D|C
*There are no actual chords in the verses, but I put some chords together that sound
good just so the rythm guitarist has somethin to do.
D C
Nobody on the road
D
nobody on the beach
C
I feel it in the air
D
the summer's out of reach
C
Empty lake,
empty streets,
D
the sun goes down alone
C
I'm drivin' by your house
G
Though I know you're not home
But I can see you-
D D
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your
C G
sunglasses on, baby
D
And I can tell you my love for you
D
will still be strong after the boys of
C
summer have gone
D C
I never will forget those nights
D
I wonder if it was a dream
C
Remember how you made me crazy?
D
Remember how I made you scream?
Now I don't understand what's happened
C
to our love,
But baby when I get you back
G
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of
I can see you-
D
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
D C
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
G D
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
D C
after the boys of summer have gone
BRIDGE:
C|C|C|D|C|D
D
Out on the road today I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
C
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't
look back. You can never look back."
D
I thought I knew what love was,
C
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-
G
I can see you-
D D
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
C
You got that top pulled down and that radio on baby
G D
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
D C
after the boys of summer have gone
G
I can see you-
D
Your brown skin shining in the sun
D
You got that hair slicked back and
C
those Wayfarers on, baby
G D
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
D C
after the boys of summer have gone
