  			This is a fun one to play.   I'm pretty sure this is right. 
 
(I've thrown in a few "sus" chords...use at your own discretion. They aren't 
necessary, but I think they add a little texture.) 
 
 
     E 
At a red stop light in some sleepy town 
An old truck pulled up with the windows down 
         A                  Asus2 A     E                       Esus4 
And that song from the past        was playin full blast 
 
E                              Esus4 
And all at onc I was seventeen 
E 
And that car became a time machine 
A                   Asus2 A       E 
And all those years         just disappeared 
 
A 
I could almost see my Janey beside me 
B                    A 
Bare feet up on the dash 
         E 
And that boy I was was stirred up inside me 
A                    B 
Tuggin my heart and takin me back 
 
E 
Hey yeah yeah that summer song 
We cranked it up and sang out strong 
A 
Every night we danced 'til dawn 
    B                 Bsus2 B 
And listened to it over and over 
E 
Hey yeah that summer song 
We learned about love as we went along 
A 
Those glory days may be long gone 
B                                            E A B (four times) 
This feelin still lives on in that summer song,     that summer song 
 
 
On the night of the day I got my first car 
I grabbed my brand new keys and my old guitar 
I picked up my girl, man I owned the world 
 
And the minute that we parked out on White Lake Road 
There it was again on my radio 
Just in time, as her lips met mine 
 
Oh I can't help but wonderin where Janey is now 
Is she still stealin hearts like she used to do 
Maybe she's somewhere listenin somehow 
Tuned in at this moment and feelin it too 
 
CHORUS 
 
solo  E   A B  (eight times) 
 
Hey yeah yeah that summer song 
We cranked it up and sang out strong 
Those glory days may be long gone 
But this feelin still lives on in that summer song 
 
E  A B  (until end) 
 
That summer song 
That summer song
