Summer Nights

tab by Paul D. [email protected] (For the sake of accuracy, I have tabbed this song as it would ACTUALLY be played. With the capo on the 3rd fret, your open notes are technically all gonna be 3's in tab. So until I indicate that you are to remove the capo, all 3's mean that you leave the string open and let the capo do the rest. :) For example, the first chord here is SUPPOSED to look like a standard "G" shape, but the tab looks funny because the 3rd fret is really your "open". Is that confusing enough?...) w/fingers: ||---------5-------3---|---------------------|---------5-------3---|------- ||-6-------6-----6---6-|-6-------6p5---3-----|-6-------6-----6---6-|------- ||-3-----3-5---5-------|-3-----3-5-------5---|-3-----3-5---5-------|------- ||-3---3-----3---------|-3---3---5---5-----5-|-3---3-----3---------|------- ||---------------------|-5-5-----3-----------|---------------------|------- ||-6-6-----------------|---------------------|-6-6-----------------|------- ----------------------|---------5-------3---|---------------|| 6-------6p5---3-------|-6-------6-----6---6-|-6---------5---|| 3-----3-5---------5---|-3-----3-5---5-------|-3-------3-5---|| 3---3---5---5---5---5-|-3---3-----3---------|-3-----3---5---|| 5-5-----3-------------|---------------------|-5---5-----3---|| ----------------------|-6-6-----------------|-6-6-----------|| w/pick: ----------------|-----------------------------|-------------------|-------- 6-6-6-6-6-6-----|-6-6-6---5-5-----------------|---6-6-6---6-6-----|-------- 3-3-3-3-5-5-----|-3-3-3---5-5-----------------|---3-3-3---5-5-----|-------- 3-3-3-3-3-3---x|-3-3-3---5-5---3-7p5p3-------|---3-3-3---3-3---x|-------- ----------3---x|-5-5-5---3-3-----------7p5p3-|-----------------x|-------- 6-6-6-6-------x|-----------------------------|-6-6-6-6---------x|-------- --------------------------------|---------------------| 6-6-6---5-5---------------------|---6-6-6-6-6-6-------| 3-3-3---5-5---------------------|---3-3-3-3-5-5-------| 3-3-3---5-5-----------8---------|---3-3-3-3-3-3---xx| 5-5-5---3-3---3h5h6h7---7p6p5p3-|-------------3---xx| --------------------------------|-6-6-6-6-6-------xx| * {nh w/bar} -------------------2~~~-|-----------|| 6-6-6---5-5--------3----|-----------|| 3-3-3---5-5------2-2----|--5--/---7-|| at * return to standard 3-3-3---5-5------2-0----|--5--/---7-|| position (remove capo) 5-5-5---3-3------0------|-----------|| ------------------------|-----------|| When you're back in standard, you're ready to begin the main part of the song, which has the following chord progression with a few variations: And it's played like so... |-3-3-3-------|-3-3-3---------------------|---3-3-3-----| |-3-3-3-3-3---|-3-3-3-2-2-----------------|---3-3-3-3-3-| |-0-0-0-2-2---|-0-0-0-2-2-----------------|---0-0-0-2-2-| |-0-0-0-0-0---|-0-0-0-2-2---0-4p2p0-------|---0-0-0-0-0-| |-------0-0---|-2-2-2-0-0-----------4p2p0-|---------0-0-| |-3-3-3-------|---------------------------|-3-3-3-3-----| w/bar 3-3-3-------------------------|---3-3-3-----------|-3-3-3------------------ 3-3-3-2-2---------------------|---3-3-3-3-3-------|-3-3-3-2--2~~~---------- 0-0-0-2-2---------------------|---0-0-0-2-2-------|-0-0-0-2--2~~~---------- 0-0-0-2-2-----------5---------|---0-0-0-0-0-------|-0-0-0-2--2~~~---------- 2-2-2-0-0---0h2h3h4---4p3p2p0-|---------0-0-------|-2-2-2-0--0~~~---------- ------------------------------|-3-3-3-3-------x--|------------------------ ||----------------------|-----------------------------| ||----------------------|-----------------------------| ||*-2-------------------|-2---------------------------| ||*-0-4---x-2-4---------|-0-4-------------------------| ||----2-----0-2---0h2p0-|---2-----------------x-4p2p0-| ||----------------------|-------0h2p0-3p0-4-5---------| <---{2x} --------------------|--------------------||--------------------------| --------------------|--------------------||-7/97/97---9---10---7/9-| 2-------------------|-2-----------------*||-------------9---9----7/9-| 0-4---x-2-4---------|-0-4---------------*||-7/97/97---9---9----7/9-| --2-----0-2---0h2p0-|---2----------------||-------------7---7----5/7-| --------------------|-------0h2p0-3/4p0--||--------------------------| -----------------------|------------------------------| 7/97/97---10---9---7-|-7/97/97---9---10---7---9--| ------------9----9---7-|-------------9---9----7---9--| 7/97/97---9----9---7-|-7/97/97---9---9----7---9--| ------------7----7---5-|-------------7---7----5---7--| -----------------------|------------------------------| ---------------------------------|---------------------| -----1211------10-----7-----65-|---------------------| ---------------------------------|-2-------------------| 0h12----11-0h10----0h7---0h6--(5)|-0-4---x-2-4---------| ---------------------------------|---2-----0-2---0h2p0-| ---------------------------------|---------------------| ------------------|---------------| ------------------|-3-----3-3-----| 2-----------------|-2-----2-2-----| 0-4---------------|-0-----0-0-----| --2---------------|---------------| ------0h2p0-3/4p0-|---0~------2~--| t t t t sl t ----------------------------------------------------|| 3-3-----3-3-3---------------------------------------|| 2-2-----2-2-2---------------------------------------|| 0-0-----0-0-----------------------------------------|| ------------2~--0h4-12p0h4-12p0h4-12p0h4-12/1412p7-|| ----3~----------------------------------------------|| Then it's back to the A progression again for the chorus. Then comes the solo for which Eddie locks his Trans-Trem 1 step DOWN! (i.e. DON'T ASK! I'm not gonna tune my guitar 1 step down just to figure it out.) Then, after the solo, Eddie brings the Trans-Trem back up to the FIRST position (1 1/2 steps up) and plays the little beginning part again. And then again back to standard for another chorus bit ("Ahhhh, summer nights..."). For the outro, I think it's just that main chord progression with something like this over it...

I guess you could just flub it from there... _______________________________________________________ Contribuição: Eduardo([email protected])
