From: DKNF16A@prodigy.com Subject: "Summertime" chords Date: Thu, 2 Apr 1998 00:03:12, -0500 (...) The A on the chorus of "Summertime" is an A major 7, rather than plain A major like in the verses. It sounds best played at the 5th fret (lowest to highest) 5X7654. The other chord on the chorus I think is E major, but it sounds like C# minor because I think it's played with a barre at the 4th fret position 076454. If you lift your third finger to get what I think is an E sus2 (074454), it sounds good alternating that with the E on the chorus. Hope this sounds good when you try it. "Summertime" is a great song. I just bought 'Static & Silence' and will be getting more Sundays albums after hearing that great one. ------------------------------------- From: Ross Subject: Summertime by the Sundays Date: unknown *This one was soo easy to figure out! enjoy!

I hope this helps a little. -John ------------------------------------- From: Perfect Sound Forever Subject: SUMMERTIME date: unknown Sounds boring without effects and lead guitar...basically just E and A. You can play them barred or at the bottom of the neck. VERSES ("Do some people wind up..."): E/A (out on B for "oh, sometimes...")
