Billy Joel - Summer, Highland Falls (PPM arrangement)
This is based on the Peter, Paul, and Mary version, which is in E. Billy Joel’s
is in F.
I play in D
DDDGx4
They say that Dthese are not the Gbest of D/F#times
But tGhey’re the D/F#only Em7times I’ve ever D/F#known A
And I beDlieve there is a Gtime for D/F#meditGationD/F#
In catEm7hedrals of our Aown E→A
F#/A#Now I have Bmseen that sad Bm/Asurrender
In my Glover’s eyes GD/F#
And EI can only E/G#stand apart and Asympathize
For we are Dalways what our Em7situations Ghand us
It’s either Asadness or eupGhoria C→G
ASadness or euDphoria C→GA
And so we’ll Dargue and we’ll coGmpromiD/F#se
And rGealD/F#ize that nEm7othing’s really Dchanged A
For all our mDutual exGperiencD/F#e
Our GseparD/F#ate concEm7lusions are the Asame E→A
F#/A#Now we are Bmforced to recogBm/Anize our
InhuGmanityGD/F#
Our Ereason coexE/G#ists with our inAsanity
And so we cDhoose between reEm7ality and mGadness
It’s either Asadness or eupGhoria C→G
If going into a solo here, the F# comes right after the D
ASadness or euDphoria
Instrumental if appropriate on chorus chords, with F# leading in
F#→BmBm/AGD/F#
EE/G#AA
DEm7GA
GC→GA
PPM do a full verse here on “la”
F#/A#How thoughtBmlessly we dissiBm/Apate our enerGgiesGD/F#
PerhEaps we don’E/G#t fulfill each other’s Afantasies
So we Dstand upon the Em7ledges of our livGes
With our respAective simiGlarities C→G
It’s either Asadness or eupGhoria
Hanging end on G, I usually stop here
PPM do *another* full verse here on “la”
