1/2 Step Down
When I play it I usually keep my 3rd and 4th fingers where they were on the G
chord through the other chords. I think it gives it a more bright tone and sounds
better with the record. Enjoy!! :)
Intro
Verse 1
[C]Like the f[G]erris wheel goes a round and a round
Well, the t[Em]rouble with up is there's always a down
First I'm h[C]olding your hand and we're on the boardwalk
It's h[D]eaven right here on these streets and these docks
But the [G]sun keeps setting and days go fast and
The [Em]sand on the beach is like an hour glass
And [C]I can just feel it all slipping away and
[D]Babe I can already say that
Chorus
As long as I l[G]ive
Whatever I [Em]do
As g[C]reat as it is, you know what's a bummer
[D]I ain't never gonna beat this summer with
[G]You, baby it's t[Em]rue
The t[C]aste of your kiss is so bittersweet
I ain't gonna b[D]eat, no way I'm gonna beat
This summer with y[G]ou[Em][C][D]

Verse 2
[G]Before you know it it's all gonna stop
They'll be ro[Em]llin' up windows and puttin' up tops
Be a c[C]old wind blowing leaves through the air
And you wo[D]n't find a tan line anywhere (anywhere)
[G]Baby I know that it ain't over yet
So l[Em]ets make the most of what we have left
But it's [C]hard living for this moment we're in
And k[D]nowing it's all gonna end
Chorus
And as long as I l[G]ive
Whatever I[Em] do
As g[C]reat as it is you know what's a bummer
I[D] ain't ever gonna beat this summer with
[G]You, baby it's t[Em]rue
The t[C]aste of your kiss is so bittersweet
I ain't gonn[D]a beat, no way I'm gonna beat
This summer with y[G]ou
Solo: G - Em - C - D
Bridge
[D]Yeah, lookin at you girl standin' th[Bm]ere
Got your wayfarers on and the sun in your h[C]air
And just like a song in a sea shell
You'll be s[D]tuck in my mind
Bouncing round in my head
And baby I can tell
Chorus
That as long as I l[G]ive
Whatever I [Em]do
As [C]great as it is you know what's a bummer
[D]I ain't ever gonna beat this summer with
[G]You, baby its t[Em]rue
The ta[C]ste of your kiss is so bittersweet
[D]I ain't gonna beat, no way I'm gonna beat
This summer with y[G]ou
Ending
G - Em - C - D (x4)
