TabScout.

Notice

This tab was written to mirror the playing of the album version from New Day Rising. Therefore, a digital chorus is used to split the guitar signal in two, making a meatier, wider sound (thus the two identical guitars on this tab: one for the left, and one for the right).

Along with a digital chorus, there's also heavy distortion courtesy of the MXR Distortion + distortion pedal.

This is a great song for any setup, so a lack of equipment hardly matters. Standard bass setup.

Lyrics

Love and hate was in the air like pollen from a flower
Somewhere in April time they add another hour

I guess I better think up a way to spend my time
Just when I'm ready to sit inside, it's summer time
Should I go swimming or get a friend to hang around
It's back to summer, it's back to basics, hang around

Getting drunk out on the beach, or playing in a band
And getting out of school meant getting out of hand

Was this your celebrated summer
Was that your celebrated summer
Was this your celebrated summer

Then the sun disintegrates between a wall of clouds
A summer where I winter at, no one is allowed there

Do you remember when the first snowfall fell
When summer barely had a snowball's chance in hell

Was this your celebrated summer
Was this your celebrated summer
Was this your celebrated summer

Do you remember when the first snowfall fell
Was that your celebrated summer?
