Capo 2
If you can stretch your fingers, that's great. If you can't, playing this tab can cause buzzing.
The intro and the verses should be accurate if you play them along with the song. After watching
a video of them performing Summer Love, I found out they play it with two guitars. Sorry if you
don't think the prechorus isn't accurate. You can still sing along to the prechorus. One guitar
plays the intro and verses while the second joins in for a couple parts.
Intro and verses (So, you should play this x4. The singing starts after the 2nd time you play it
& 1 guitar only or 2 if you want, but it will be hard to be in sync)
