Verse 1: 
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
E7                      
It's another state of...
Am   F   C    E7  Am    F  C    E7 (repeat intro riff over chorus) F, G
Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind 

Verse 2:
C       E7           Am
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
   Am             G
if you've got the time
F       C            G
At the summer place, its so far away
E7                      
It's another state of...
Am   F   C    E7  Am    F  C    E7 (repeat intro riff over chorus) F, G
Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind,  Miiind 

Bridge:
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
Am     F
Tiiiime
   C      E7
A lifetiiiime
  Am     F
A lifetiiiime
 C      E7
A lifetiiiime

Outro:
F, G, (pause) A

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.
