Rhyme For The Summertime

Tuning: Standard
Ok, so. Here are the chords that he plays throughout the entire song. There are just different rhythms.
E|-12--/9- -5--3-|
B|-10--7--3--1-|
G|-11--8--4--2-|
D|-10--7--3--1-|
A -12--/9- -5--3-|
E|-10--7--3--1-|

Now, there’s the obvious rhythm that just occurs once every measure.

E|-12------/9- ------5-------3------|
B|-10------7-------3-------1------|
G|-11------8-------4-------2------|
D|-10------7-------3-------1------|
A|-12------/9- ------5-------3------|
E|-10------7-------3-------1------|
   1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

And then there’s the one that a little harder.

E|-------12--------------/9- --------------5-----------|
B|-------10--------------7---------------3-----------|
G|-------11--------------8---------------4-----------|
D|-------10--------------7---------------3-----------|
A|-------12--------------/9- --------------5-----------|
E|-9/10--10--0-6---7-----7---0-2---3-----3---0-0---1-|
   1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a 1 e & a 2 e & a 3

E|-----3---------|
B|-----1---------|
G|-----2---------|
D|-----1---------|
A|-----3---------|
E|-----1---0-0---|
   e & a 4 e & a

It switches back and forth throughout the song, but if you just listen, you’ll get it.

Then there’s the very end of the song where he goes into more of a bluesy feel. Those chords are:


E|-x-----x---x-x-----x---x-x-----x---x-x-----x---x-|
B|-5-----5---x-5-----5---x-6-----6---x-5-----5---x-|
G|-4-----4---x-3-----3---x-5-----5---x-4-----4---x-|
D|-5-----5---x-5-----5---x-7-----7---x-3-----3---x-|
A|-3-----3---x-4-----4---x-5-----5---x-5-----5---x-|
E|-x-----x---x-x-----x---x-x-----x---x-3-----3---x-|
   1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a 1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a

E|-x-----x---x-5-----5-----x------x--x-6-----6---x-|
B|-8-----8---x-6-----5-----10----10--x-8-----8---x-|
G|-7-----7---x-6-----6-----/9- ----/9- --x-7-----7---x-|

E|-x-----x---x-5-----x-----x-----x---x-6-----6---x-|
   1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a 1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a

E|-x-----x---x-x-----x-----x-----x---x-x-----x-----3-|
B|-5-----5---x-5-----7-----6-----6---x-5-----5-----5-|
G|-4-----4---x-3-----4-----5-----5---x-4-----4-----4-|
D|-5-----5---x-5-----5-----7-----7---x-3-----3-----5-|
A|-3-----3---x-4-----4-----5-----5---x-5-----5-----3-|
E|-x-----x---x-x-----x-----x-----x---x-3-----3-----x-|
   1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a 1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a 1

And that’s the whole song. Enjoy.
