Long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays
(bass enters on 1 beat of following chords):
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast
Verse 1:
[12-string alternates xx7650 and xx7670]
When school lets out and the summer's here
[12-string alternates xx5430 and xx5450]
We'll have some time for the sun
Throw my notebooks out and put my car in gear
We'll be having some fun
Chorus:
Drivin' around (long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Oooh, drivin' around (long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
You know my tape deck is blastin'
My car's fast
Verse 2:
With my girl by my side, we can go for a ride
And find a place we can dance
When it get real dark, we can stop in the park
And have a back seat romance
[repeat chorus]
Bridge:
/ / I'll be waiting all through the year
Just to get you alone with nobody near
Baby don't be late 'cause I just can't wait
All I wanna do is make love to you
[guitar solo over chorus chords]
[repeat verse 2]
[repeat chorus]
[repeat chorus; pause on "my car's fast"]
Coda (repeat to fade):
I'm drivin' around (long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
Drivin' around (long hot days we'll be catchin' the rays)
