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 song is from Jake Etheridge's most recent album, released in 2016. The listed strumming
pattern works for almost the entire song, but there are a few times in the intro,
instrumentals, and outro where it changes slightly. I recommend listening to the song and
playing along with it. I did this entirely by ear, so it's not perfect, but it's definitely accurate.
Summer Storms by Jake Etheridge
Capo - 4th fret
[Intro]
Em G C Em7 D
Em G C
[Verse 1]
(C) Em G C
I figured you'd just run out of things to say
Em7 D
Like you sometimes did in the dead of the night
Em G C
Thought for sure we'd be just fine come morning
[Verse 2]
Em G C
But through cracks of early eyes
Em7 D
I stumbled out of the bed and through our apartment
Em G C
Called your name out twice, where'd you go darling?
[Pre-Chorus]
D
And I guess
G Em C G
You don't know what you're doing until you've done too much
D
And the best
G Em C D
That I had to offer was never gonna be quite enough
[Chorus]
G C
You spent one too many mornings
D Em
Just a choking down this town
C D Em
I guess your reasons for not leaving just ran out
[Instrumental]
(Em) G C Em7 D
Em G C
[Verse 3]
(C) Em G C
In the drawer by the kitchen sink
Em7 D
There's a cracked coffee cup and a picture of you and me
Em G C
Yeah, that always was where we kept the broken things
[Verse 4]
Em G C
So I fumble through the mess
Em7 D
Old triple A's and a half pack of cigarettes
Em G C
Touched every lonely key like the beads of a Rosary
[Pre-Chorus]
D
And I guess
G Em C G
You don't know what you're doing until you've done too much
D
And the best
G Em C D
That I had to offer was never gonna be quite enough
[Chorus]
G C
You spent one too many mornings
D Em
Just a choking down this town
C D Em
I guess your reasons for not leaving just ran out
[Instrumental]
(Em) G C Em7 D
Em G C
[Bridge]
C G
'Cause you
C
Always loved summer storms
C G
And you
C
Follow the lightening home
D
Ohhh
G Em C
Follow, follow, follow
G Em
Follow, follow
[End Chorus]
G C
You spent one too many mornings
D Em
Just a choking down this town
C D Em
I guess your reasons for not leaving just ran out
C D G
I guess your reasons for not leaving just ran out
