This song appears on Baysides Acoustic album, and I really wanted to know how to play
it so I looked at the Smoking Popes Tab for it. It was in a different key so I
transposed it for anyone else who wants to learn it.
INTRO A Ab/A F# F#/G X2
Butter on a summer day
When she's around
I was on the tracks
When the gate came down
Suddenly I recognized
Those bloodshot rearview mirror eyes as mine
I heard that whistle call my name
I almost drove away
Chorus:
But Megan I
had a feeling that you would be on that train
So I just waited there for you
Caught a ride to another town
Where the air was clean
And the sun never goes down
Everyone was standing in a line
Between the landing and the stairs
I heard somebody call my name
I almost climbed the stairs
But Megan I
had a feeling that someday you'd meet me there
So I just waited there for you
SOLO: Chorus Chords x2
Butter on a summer day
When I hear that name
It's a dream that never came true
Sat down on the tracks
And waited for a train to take me back to you
Somebody came and took my hand
I finally had to go
But Megan I
just want you to know
That I waited as long as I could
Butter on a summer day when she's around
