This song appears on Baysides Acoustic album, and I really wanted to know how to play
it so I looked at the Smoking Popes Tab for it. It was in a different key so I
transposed it for anyone else who wants to learn it.
INTRO A Ab/A F# F#/G X2
A A/Ab
Butter on a summer day
F#
When she's around
F#/Ab
I was on the tracks
D
When the gate came down
A A/Ab
Suddenly I recognized
F# F#/Ab D
Those bloodshot rearview mirror eyes as mine
F#m E D
I heard that whistle call my name
F#m E D
I almost drove away
Chorus:
Am Db
But Megan I
E F#m B
had a feeling that you would be on that train
D E
So I just waited there for you

A A/Ab
Caught a ride to another town
F#
Where the air was clean
F#/Ab D
And the sun never goes down
A A/Ab
Everyone was standing in a line
F# F#/Ab D
Between the landing and the stairs
F#m E D
I heard somebody call my name
F#m E D
I almost climbed the stairs
Am Db
But Megan I
E F#m B
had a feeling that someday you'd meet me there
D E
So I just waited there for you
SOLO: Chorus Chords x2
A A/Ab
Butter on a summer day
F#
When I hear that name
F#/Ab D
It's a dream that never came true
A A/Ab
Sat down on the tracks
F# F#/Ab D
And waited for a train to take me back to you
F#m E D
Somebody came and took my hand
F#m E D
I finally had to go
Am Db
But Megan I
E F#m B
just want you to know
D E
That I waited as long as I could
A A/Ab F#
Butter on a summer day when she's around
