TITLE : Summer ARTIST : Modest Mouse ALBUM : The Fruit That Ate Itself (1997) TUNING : Standard (EADGBe) //// NOTES //// 1. Improvise a bit! Sometimes he gets sloppy at the end of a bar - in a good way. 2. In the breakdown, ^ means bend. All else refer to upstrokes and downstrokes. 3. "Just the smell of summer can make me fall in love." Or at least write a 14 year old tab. Classic! :) //// VERSE //// e ---------------------------------------------| B ---------------------------------------------| x 2 G ---------------------------------------------| D -4-x-x-x-4-x-x-4-x-4-x-x-4-x-x-x-------------| A -4-x-x-x-4-x-x-4-x-4-x-x-4-x-x-x-------------| E -2-x-x-x-2-x-x-2-x-2-x-x-2-x-x-x-------------| v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ 1 2 3 4 e ---------------------------------------------| B ---------------------------------------------| x 1 G -4-x-x-x-4-x-x-4-x-4-x-x-4-x-x-x-------------| D -4-x-x-x-4-x-x-4-x-4-x-x-4-x-x-x-------------| A -2-x-x-x-2-x-x-2-x-2-x-x-2-x-x-x-------------| E ---------------------------------------------| v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ 1 2 3 4 e ---------------------------------------------| B ---------------------------------------------| x 1 G -4-x-x-x-4-x-x-6---6-6-6-4-4-2-2-------------| D -4-x-x-x-4-x-x-4---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-------------| A -2-x-x-x-2-x-x-2---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-------------| E ---------------------------------------------| v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ 1 2 3 4 //// BREAKDOWN //// e ---------------------------------------------| B ---------------------------------------------| x 1 G -11--111111----------------------------------| D -------------x-8---8-9---11^-----------------| A -9---9-9-9-----------------------------------| E -------------x-6---6-7---9^------------------| v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ 1 2 3 4 e ---------------------------------------------| B ---------------------------------------------| x 1 G -11--111111--x-12--1211--9---7---------------| D ---------------------------------------------| A -9---9-9-9---x-10--109---7---5---------------| E ---------------------------------------------| v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ 1 2 3 4 //// BRIDGE?? //// *** If you don't have cool pedal tremolo effects, just improvise :) e ---------------------------------------------| B ---------------------------------------------| x 2 G ---------------------------------------------| D -4-------------------------------------------| A -4-------------------------------------------| E -2-------------------------------------------| v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ 1 2 3 4 e ---------------------------------------------| B ---------------------------------------------| x 2 G -4-------------------------------------------| D -4-------------------------------------------| A -2-------------------------------------------| E ---------------------------------------------| v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ 1 2 3 4 Modest Mouse - Summer Wake up, we're stealing cars And we're going to bust into bars It's 1996, 1997, it's 1998, we're all waiting for the year 2000 Just the smell of the summer can make me fall in love Just the smell of the summer can make me fall in love We go to the parties, and listen to the DJ's Dance, dance, dance, and go crazy Dance, dance, dance, and go crazy She's a party queen and she's in party heaven Her clock is stuck on late, got a first name basis at 7-11 Hold the slip 'n' slide, taste the sweat, it's salty Irrigation ditch and a swimming hole, nationwide loved the movie enjoy
