ARTIST:Gin Blossoms
TITLE:Idiot Summer (4:10)
WRITTEN BY:Robin Wilson

C (w/Fig. 1)
(w/Riff A)
G             C
I walked home to the sun
F               G
I couldn't ride another one
G               C               F      G
I thought a lot along the lines
G                    C
And I've been fooled about all night
F           G 
Wiped clean always by midnight
G                 C            F       G
Wasn't it like an idiot summer
G                 C            F       G
Wasn't it like an idiot summer
W/Riff A. (slightly different)
C
G                 C
Three, four peaks all I could see
F                     G
In the morning it's a hundred and ten degrees
G              C              F        G            
But I like the goddamn heat
G           C
I lie awake half the night
F                   G
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
G                   C           F      G
All the autumn that you can see
G                   C           F      G
All the autumn that you can see
C (w/Fig. 1)                 G     C G  C G  C G
It's growing darker like the trees
C                           G
But if all the trees should fall
                                    C G  C G  C G
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
C (w/Fig. 1)
(And then we're out of work)

SOLO:
G - C - F - G
G - C - F - G
G - C - F - G
G - C - F - G

It's growing darker like the trees
But if all the trees should fall
All the bugs would crawl in my sleep
There's no telling I was so confused
I try but I can't help you choose
Tucson is so far away
I lie awake half the night
Autumn is coming it seems like it's in sight
Wasn't it like an idiot summer...

About the artist behind Idiot Summer Tab:

The Gin Blossoms are an alternative rock band formed in 1987, in Tempe, Arizona. They took their name from a photo of W.C. Fields which bore the caption "W.C. Fields with gin blossoms," referring to the actor's gin-ravaged nose. The band, who were musically weaned on The Byrds and Tom Petty, released three albums and had several hits in the mid 1990s, before breaking up in 1997. Five years later in 2002, the band reunited, released a DVD, resumed touring, and promised a fourth album. Major Lodge Victory, the Gin Blossoms' first album in ten years, was released on August 8, 2006 on the Hybrid Recordings label.
