[Verse]
               G                    C
I bought you a book on birds in San Francisco
       G                       C
From a couple of older hippies of the bay
 
[Pre Chorus]
D           Cadd9
It was late July
D           Cadd9
Their summer of love
      D            Cadd9       G
Was a winter in La Plata and Hobart
 
[Verse]
                G
Punchline for a joke:
                      C
“We melt apart in the snow, man!”
        G                                     C
But had I been there, this wouldn’t change at all
 
[Pre Chorus]
                               D
‘Cause I was watching from the sides
             Cadd9         (riff 1)
Now I’m just trynna figure out:
   D                                             C (riff 1)          G
If I had good memory then why would I write this all down?
 
[Chorus]
         G
It was a long hot summer
     C
In a late December party
        G                           D
And you had a bunch of friends over from school
     G
Your grandma was there too
    C
She gave us cake, then she pushed us in the pool
    G                         D
The taste of vegan appetisers lingered on
 
[Coda]
G                           C
You told your mother that I played guitar
G                             C
But I never had the chance to prove it because your
D                               C     G
Sister’s boyfriend was needing CPR
