The Summer


Artist: Josh Pyke Title: The Summer Tabbed by Joe Fairburn ? Capo 6th When playing the D chords in the verses try play a major bar on the 11th fret it sounds if you play it right and leave the 1st string open whilst playing. When you get to the bridge he is picking the first second and third strings after he the bass note that is provided (e.g. D bass note = A/D) Have fun it’s a great song! Verse 1 Bm A D If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it over to your house and pour it A loose through your garden Bm A D So the hinges on your windows would rust and colour like the boats pulled up on the A sand for the summer Em D A And your sweet clean clothes would go stiff on the line and there’d be sand in your Em pockets and nothing in your mind But every year it gets a little bit harder to get back the feeling of when we were 15 And we could jump in the river upstream and let the current carry us to the beginning where the river me the sea again And all our days were a sun drenched haze while the salt spray crusted on the window Panes Chorus D We should be living like we lived in that summer F#m I wanna live like we live in the summer Verse 2 And I’ll remember that summer as the right one the storms make the pavement steam like a kettle And our first goodbyes always seemed like hours in the car park in between my house and yours And if the summer was a song we might sing forever then the winter holds a bite we’d never felt before Chorus We should be living like we lived in that summer I wanna live like we live in the summer Bridge A/A A/D A/F# A/G A/D same for next phrase But time, is like the ocean, you can only hold a little in your hands So we swim, before we’re broken, before our bones become black coral in the sand Chorus We should live like we lived in that summer I wanna live like we live in the summer We should live like we lived in that summer I wanna live like we live in the summer We should live like we lived in that summer I wanna live like we live in the summer Outro If I could bottle up the sea breeze I would take it out over to your house and pour it loose through your garden
