Lyrics
AMaj7 (let ring)
Saving it up
Savoring every ounce of sunlight
(Riff 1)
AMaj7
What comes to be, gradually
Feels like overnight
(Riff 1)
EEFF F#
So, bundle up
AAA#A# B
And hunker down
EEFF F#
See you on the other side
E(let ring)
Mercury falls so
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/barenaked_ladies/summertime_tab.html ]
Dmaj7
How, how do we make it through the days?
C#min7
How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
C#
Well, you have to understand that
Dmaj7
Soon enough we’ll wake up from such a daze,
D#
thanks to all the many ways
Dmaj7 let ring
We’re all pushing through, for Summertime
Amaj7 followed by Riff 2
AMaj7 (let ring)
We cover it up, we bottle it in,
But that won’t make it feel right
(Riff 1)
AMaj7
Toppin’ it off, rubbing it in
There’s always a big mess of white
Riff 3
Same as above
So bundle up
And hunker down
Here it comes again
Just one more round
See you on the other side
Mercury falls so
Dmaj7
How, how do we make it through the days?
C#min7
How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
C#
Well, you have to understand that
Dmaj7
Soon enough we’ll wake up from such a daze,
D#
thanks to all the many ways
Dmaj7 let ring
We’re all pushing through, for Summertime
AMaj7 let ring
Ba Da Ba Ba Da Ba Ba Da Baaaa
Riff 1
AMaj 7
Ba Da Ba Ba Da Ba Ba Da Baaaa
Riff 2
Oooh (basically same chords as the chorus only palm muted)
Dmaj7
How, how do we make it through the days?
C#min7
How do we not cave in, and bottom out?
C#
Well, you have to understand that
Dmaj7
Soon enough we’ll wake up from such a daze,
D#
thanks to all the many ways
Dmaj7 let ring
We’re all pushing through, for Summertime
AMaj7 let ring
Ba Da Ba Ba Da Ba Ba Da Baaaa
