Great song. Wasn’t sure how accurate some of the other tabs were so I tried figuring it
for myself. It might not be perfect but I think it’s pretty accurate. Any comments let
know

The speaker in this door is blown
So nothing sounds quite right

Bridge
C
And I will leave under the cover, summer’s kiss upon the sky
C
Like the stone face of your lover, just before she says goodbye
C
And I was certain that the season, could be held between my arms
C
Just as summer’s hold is fleeting

I was here but now I’m gone		                           I'm

Gone		So long, So Long. Repeat
Da da da da da daa. Repeat
End on G
