C E7 Am
She's been afraid of the Cuisinart
C E7 Am
Since nine-teen seventy-seven
C E7 Am
Now when she opens up the house
E7 F
Well she won't set foot in the kitchen
C E7 Am
Her brother's dating an architect
C E7 Am
They're coming up for the weekend
C E7 Am
He never gave her the proper respect
E7 F
But she still meets the ferry to greet them
Chorus:
F C E7
Oh, at the summer place, we got the space
Am G
if you've got the time
F C G
At the summer place, its so far away

She ran away back in seventy eight
C E7 Am
Just down the beach to the neighbor's
C E7 Am
They brought her back after sunset
E7 F
Her Dad said "Don't do me any favors"
C E7 Am
Her Mom sat on the patio
C E7 Am
She said she needed the sea air
C E7 Am
She drank a fifth of Seagram's
E7 F
And then she'd sink down into her deck chair
Chorus 2:
F C E7
Oh, at the summer place, we got the space

if you've got the time

Am E7
At fifteen, shop-lifting
C F
Was the only game she liked to play
Am E7
At forty, she's so bored she
C F
Thinks about it then decides to play
Am G
But still she can't help feeling
D/F# G
Those good old days don't seem so far away
E7
(seem so far away) Just like yesterday
Verse 3:
C E7 Am
She took a handful of mushrooms
C E7 Am
That she got from a surfer
C E7 Am
She spent a night in a hospital room
E7 F
So the doctors could observe her
Chorus 3:
F C E7 Am G
Oh, at the summer place, We've got the space, you should drop on by
F C
Oh, at the summer place
G E7
the injuries fade but the memories last a life

A lifetiiiime

A lifetiiiime
C E7
A lifetiiiime

Nice tab, but I think the first 3 lines of each verse are Em and not E7, but E7 is used as the final turnaround for each verse. The rest is spot on. Thanks for posting!
Pretty sure the first note of the riff is played on 3rd fret instead of 2nd.
