Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is how I play the song! Suggestions and corrections welcome!
Note that in the intro and verse section, the bass walk up
that goes F#m-Abm-A-B is not necessary and it sounds good just going from F#m to B.
[Intro]
B C#m B F#m Abm A x2
[Verse 1]
B C#m B
Wait till the heat sets in
F#m Abm A B
and the days grow long and thin
F#m Abm A B
it sets the traffic lights to swaying
C#m
in the wind
[Verse 2]
B C#m B
Run till your legs are sore
F#m Abm A B
turn the lights on, lock the doors
F#m Abm A B
they’ll wait the whole night long to shake you
C#m
to your core
[Chorus]
A B C#m Ebm
See how it burns and how it bends
E B F#m
the way it descends through the trees
B
outside your room
A E
how the dog days trouble you
B
and the cool sigh
A
of the low tide
F#m A B
how it only leaves you blue
B C#m B F#m Abm A
Ah-ah ah-ah-ah oohhh
[Verse 3]
B C#m B
Out in the pines and firs
F#m Abm A B
there were spies and saboteurs
F#m Abm A B
you spent a night this side of breaking
C#m
taking turns
[Verse 4]
B C#m B
You’ve got time to kill
F#m Abm A B
you’ve got moves and summer skills
F#m Abm A B
and even so, they sought to bend you
C#m
to their will
[Chorus]
A B C#m Ebm
Still can’t relax and place your words
E B F#m
just pray that this curse too will pass
B
dead afternoons
A E
how the dog days trouble you
B
and the cruel bite
A
of the sunlight
F#m A B
how it bends and how it burns
A E
and the nightmares reassure
B
in a clean bed
A
in a cold sweat
F#m
you’re forgetting all you learned here with your worst fears all confirmed here
[Outro]
A B A
