    Use a clean standard tone with chorus effect for chord richness and
  • make good use of neck and bridge pickup switching. A few leads use the
    bridge pickup with distortion. I have loved this song ever since it
    was release and since none of the tabs I found were exactly accurate,
  • I decided to give it a go.
     
    Intro

    Nobody on the road
  • Nobody on the beach
    I feel it in the air
    The summer's out of reach
  • Empty lake, empty streets
    The sun goes down alone
    I'm drivin' by your house
  • Though I know you're not at home
     
    Chorus
  • (eh, close enough for government work - arpeggiate as you like)
    Play 2x

    I never will forget those nights

    But babe, I'm gonna get you back

    Repeat Verse:
  • (The seagull sounds may be a synth effect but can be created by scraping the pick
    against the higher strings with a delay effect. A metal pick works even better, i.e. a dime)
     
  • Out on the road today, I saw a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac
    A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back."
    I thought I knew what love was
  • What did I know?
    Those days are gone forever
    I should just let them go but-
  •  
    Repeat Chorus: (2X)
     
  • I can see you-
    Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
    You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
  • And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
    After the boys of summer have gone
     
  • I can see you-
    Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
    You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
  • I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
    After the boys of summer have gone
     
  • Outro:
    (Perhaps played by two guitars (2 tracks), but very easily done with one.)
    (The first time through play the first bar, and 2nd time play the 2nd bar)
