Suddenly Last Summer
by The Motels

Transcribed by Byron Sartain (BluTrumpet@aol.com).
This is all my own work, so I'm sorry if there's any errors.=20
If you can do a better job, go for it.=20

The recording is basically done on a keyboard synthesizer and vibraphone,
but it works well on a guitar. Whenever there is an A or G chord,
the riffs transcribed below are played on the vibraphone. You can play the r=
iff
on those chords, or you can just play the chord. It's all up to you.

[Verse]

A
It happened one summer
A
it happened one time
G                     A
It happened forever, for a short time
A                     A
A place for a moment, an end to dream
G                    A
Forever I loved you, forever it seemed
 
[Chorus]
D                   Dm  A
One summer never ends, one summer never began
D                      Dm  A
It keeps me standing still, it takes all my will
G                 Bm   A
And then suddenly last summer
 
[Verse]
A                        A
Sometimes I never leave, but sometimes I would
G                          A
Sometimes I stay too long, sometimes I would
A                          A
Sometimes it frightens me, sometimes it would
G                            A
Sometimes I'm all alone and wish that I could
 
[Chorus/Outro]
D                   Dm      A
One summer never ends, one summer never began
D                           Dm   A
It keeps me standing still, it takes all my will
G                Bm  A
And then suddenly last summer
G                Bm  A
And then suddenly last summer
G                Bm   A
And then suddenly last summer
G           Bm A
Until suddenly last summer
G             Bm  A
And then suddenly last summer
G           Bm  A
Until suddenly last summer
