There are two guitars in this song
The electric guitar you hear strumming in the verse
is playing something slightly different.
These are the chords that the acoustic
is playing.
I used the lyrics from the version on Myles Kennedy's Myspace.
I don't know if they're different than the album.
Also, the song is played in
Drop D tuning, but its not really necessary
if you want to play the song.

All alone

In the house we called home

And the walls still echo of her laughter

We'd dream of a world
Am
Far away we'll never know
G D
Since she left i don't dream anymore....

Everything has been dying

Summergirl went away

And the sun doesn't shine
