Summers' End

Roughly, you can break this song into an intro, verse, chorus and solo. I say
roughly because to me, verse and chorus are somewhat the same length, and
although both have a very different musical tension, I can see myself
interchanging them. For instance, starting with a chorus, and then move on
with a verse. To me, the song lets quite some room for your own interpretation.

The Chords
These are the chords used in the song, at least to my ears ;-)

D Dsus2 C G D Am Asus4 F E

If you don't know how to play 'm there is plenty of reference material out there
to help you out. One might think 'great, I'm sure you could have told us'. Right
you are. But, the thing here is to learn something.

The intro (and riff 1)

Listen to the song. Again. And again. And again. Get familiar with the picking
rhythm, as well as the strumming rhythm. Aim for a rhythm that propels to
song forward. Not in great speed. Think medium speed. Think a water stream
making it's why through the rocks with determination, but without haste.

Riff 2
Only one note changes. This is the riff you play before going into the chorus. It
ends not in Dsus2, but with a full open D chord.

Intro C F
Riff 1 (2x) I will meet you there

Verse D Am
Golden lips and cherry wine
Dsus2
Early morning without warning
C G
Moonshine in your hair
Woke me with a scare
C G D Am
Just keep staring at the sun
I had that dream again
Riff 1 C F Riff 1 (2x)
Pray for summer's end.
That the sun was dead

Dsus2
Make me warm or take me home
It’s so cold in here
Verse
C G Come on over brave my storm
Can't we meet somewhere? Oceans overhead
Riff 1 Come inside, my friend
Is it winter there? Getting bad out there
Riff 1
Is it winter there? Every moment we have stolen
Riff 2 All we have to share
No one wanted them
This winter
But you know I did
You know I did
Chorus
This moment
D Am
Meet me in the summertime
Chorus
C G Meet me in the summertime
We can move the air We can move the air

Just keep staring at the sun
Pray for summer's end

Meet me in the summertime

Meet me in the summertime
Meet me in the summertime
We can move the air
Meet me in the summertime
I will meet you there
