We have an official Summer Of 69 tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
This is basicly correct. You can't really hear the finger-picking that good, but I
think this is the right one. The other tabs on this site are good only these 2
strings that you need to pick didn't were in those other acoustic versions.
So basicly I corrected a tiny bit in the finer-picking section. Anyways...
 
EDIT: This should be the Acoustic version.  I forgot to put it behind the title
of the song. Sorry for that, so if anyone can fix it, that will be appreciated.
 
Tuning is standard: EADGBe
No Capo

I forgot to tell that this is the Acoustic part. I'll try to contact a mod to get Acoustic behind it. So if you're one, please do so.

daredevil, Bm, A, F etc are chords. You have to strum them.
