There are two guitars in this song
The electric guitar you hear strumming in the verse
is playing something slightly different.
These are the chords that the acoustic
is playing.
I used the lyrics from the version on Myles Kennedy's Myspace.
I don't know if they're different than the album.
Also, the song is played in
Drop D tuning, but its not really necessary
if you want to play the song.

Intro:
If you are playing in standard EADGBe, the studio version will look like this:
D Am G D
E|---0h2-2-|-0---0---|-2-0-----|---------|
B|-3-------|---3-1-3-|-------3-|-0-3---3-|
G|---------|---------|-----0---|-----2---|
D|-------0-|---------|---------|-----0---|
A|---------|-----0---|---------|---------|
E|---------|---------|-----3---|---------|
*If you are playing with the low E dropped to D, just play that low G note in the 5th fret.
D
Flowers placed
Am
At the foot of the grave
G D
Of the one we lost forever
D
Jesus please
Am
Let her soul rest in peace
G D
And make way a new angel's in heaven
D Am
Summergirl went away
G D
Everything has been dying
D Am
Summergirl went away
G D
And the sun doesn't shine
D
All alone
Am
In the house we called home
G D
And the walls still echo of her laughter
D
We'd dream of a world
Am
Far away we'll never know
G D
Since she left i don't dream anymore....
D Am
Summergirl went away
G D
Everything has been dying
D Am
Summergirl went away
G D
And the sun doesn't shine
Bridge:
