Standard tuning

Capo 2nd fret

Note: This can be played without a capo, but I prefer playing the intro

with a capo.

The chord shapes I use: (relative to capo)

Dsus2 - xx0230 A - x02220

Dsus2/F#- 2x0230 D - xx0232

Intro:

F#-|------0---------0---------0--------------0-|

C#-|--------3---------3---------3-------3-2--3-|

F#-|-----------3---------2---------0-----------|

(D) (G) (F#) (E)

For the verses, strum over the intro riff chords.

Notes in brackets denote the bass note of each chord:

Verse 1:

(D) (G) (F#) (E) (D)

On certain Sundays in November when the weather bothers me

(G) (F#) (E) (D)

I empty drawers of other summers where my shadows used to be

(G) (F#) (E) (D)

And she is standing by the water as her smile begins to curl

(G) (F#) Em

In this or any other summer she is something altogether different

Em (D) (G) (F#) (E)

Never just an ordinary girl [riff]

Verse 2:

(D) (G) (F#) (E) (D)

And in the evenings on Long Island when the colours start to fade

(G) (F#) (E) (D)

She wears a silly yellow hat that someone gave her when she stayed

(G) (F#) (E) (D)

I didn't think that she returned it we left New York in a whirl

(G) (F#) Em

Time expands and then contracts when you are spinning in the grips of

someone who is not an ordinary girl

Chorus 1:

When you sleep you find your mother in the night

But she stays just out of sight

So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming

And when you wake the morning covers you with light

And it makes you feel alright

D F#m A Dsus2 (to riff)

But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again

(intro riff once)

Verse 3:

(D) (G) (F#) (E) (D)

You send your lover off to China then you wait for her to call

(G) (F#) (E) (D)

You put your girl up on a pedestal then you wait for her to fall

(G) (F#) (E) (D)

I put my summer's back in a letter and I hide it from the world

(G) (F#) Em

All the regrets you can't forget are somehow pressed upon a picture

In the face of such an ordinary girl

Chorus 2:

And when you sleep you find your mother in the night

But she stays just out of sight

So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming

And when you wake the morning showers you with light

And it makes you feel alright

But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again

Again, again, again

It's just the same hard candy you're remembering again

Again, again, again

And it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again

Outro riff:

F#-|-----0-----------0-----------0-----------0------|

C#-|-------3-----------3-----------3-----------3----|

F#-|-------------------------------------3----------|

(D) (C#) (C) (G)

Outro: (with riff)

(D) (C#) (C) (G)

Go ask her to come around and see me late after dark

(D) (C#) (C) (G)

Don't ask me to come around then wait to see if there's a spark

(D) (C#) (C) (G)

Go ask her to come around and see me late after dark

(D) (C#) (C) (G)

Don't ask me to come around and make me wait to see the spark

(D) (C#) (C) (G)

Go ask her to come around late and see me after dark

(D) (C#) (C) (G)

Don't ask me to come around and wait to see if there is a spark
