This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Summer Here Kids - Grandaddy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Kaptin Ukraine

Email: pcvallin@mtu.edu

Tuning: Standard

Note: This ain't perfect, I can tell there is more dissonance going on, but I play it

this way on my acoustic and it sounds pretty decent. It's pretty much based around 16th

notes, that is to say, I am not gonna type out the rhythm, you may have to hit a chord or

note more times than written!

Intro:

Here's the scale run they do, on th' ivories or somethin'

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-14--13--11--9-------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------11--10--8--6-----------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Here's a way to incorporate that scale run into the rhythm chords (if yer playing it alone!)

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-6--5----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-6--6--8--6--4--3----------------------------------------------------------|
A|-4--4--4--4--4--4--6--4----------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------2--2--2--2----------------------------------------------------|

Verse:

C#5 B5

After she lets you glide around

A5

Finally hit the ground

B5

Like a paper plane

C#5 B5

Take a trip, join me in the sun

A5

But not really though

B

Cause I ain't having fun

Chorus:

E5

Cause summer here kids

B5

Summer here totally lies

F#5 A5 B5

Tourist people said I'd have a good time

E5

Summer here kids

B5

All of them awful lies

F#5 C#m G# A

Tourist info said I'd have a good time

*repeat intro chords

Do as I didn't do because

I'm a picture of indumbivivity

Stay alone put a record on

Listen to the songs

Keep youself at home

Cause summer here kids

Summer here totally lies

Tourist info said I'd have a good time

Summer here kids

All of them awful lies

Tourist info said I'd have a good time

C#m G# A (repeat)

I'm not having a good time

*End on E
