So, the other version that's up here is too hard for me as a beginner, so I worked
an easier version for people who like me aren't hugely bothered about it being in
the right key, so long as we can play it.
Capo 4
C Em
Me and my friend Dan are gonna get some beers and then
F G C
We’re gonna go down to the park and drink them there
C Em
We'll bask out in the sun, bring a guitar and play some songs
F G Am
Call up our friends and invite them out to share
Em F C
What might be the last weekend of the summer
Dm Am
Cause September's getting colder as it goes
F G C Em Am
And we haven't done enough of this simple kind of stuff
F G C
this year. It's clear we're getting older and it shows
C Em F
Work weeks make us weary now and school's a distant memory
G C
It’s easy to ask questions of ourselves,
C Em F
Like: where it is we're going now and what we have to show
G Am
For all the sunny days shut up in the shells
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/frank_turner/dans_song_crd_ver_2.html ]
Em F C
Of expectations of our ultimate directions
Dm Am
And the stations that we should have reached by now
F G C Em Am
When we haven't read the script and our tender wings are clipped
F G C
And we're scared we might be letting someone down
C G F Dm
C G F Em Dm Em Dm
C Em
So we listen to these heartbreak songs when nothing’s really wrong
F G C
And we smile when we're asked and say we're fine
C Em
But we're drifting through our middle days, we're creeping into middle age
F G Am
Setting in our ways... But now it's time
Em F C
To decide now its time to draw a line
Dm Am
In the sand and ask what's more important than days like today
F G C Em Am
So grab some beers call your friends and meet us here
F G C G C
In the summer park with me and my friend Dan
