Keep in mind that in some places of the verses no chords are played, there are just clapping.
D#
River's strong, you can swim inside it
You can string some lights up here beside it
G# D#
Tonight the moon's so bright you could drive with your headlights out
A# G# D#
'Cause a little bit of summer's what the whole year's all about
(Clapping)
You look fine, fine, fine, put your feet up next to mine
We can watch that borderline get higher and higher
Say, say, say ain't it been some kinda day
You and me been catchin' on like a wildfire
(D# and Riff 1 and 2 together)
D#
Don't get up just to get another, you can drink from mine, we can't leave
each other
G#
We can dance with the dead, you can rest your head on my shoulder if you
D#
want to get older with me
A# G# D#
'Cause a little bit of summer makes a lot of history
(Clapping)
You look fine, fine, fine, put your feet up next to mine
We can watch that borderline get higher and higher
Say, say, say ain't it been some kinda day
You and me been catchin' on like a wildfire
G# - C# - G# - C#
G#
I got a rock from the river in my medecine bag
C#
Magpie feather in his medecine bag
G# - D#
(Clapping)
Say, say, say ain't it been some kinda day
You and me been catchin' on like a wildfire
(Outro D#)
