"Summer Is The Man"
(Gilbert - Esposito)
Intro: (instrumental over verse 1 chords)
Verse 1:
E B7
The eyes of a man
C#7 B7
That can see what you can
E B7
Are the eyes that can see
E7 A
Far beyond you and me
Am E
So we'll wait and we'll wait
Fmaj7#11 [133200] E
Until we are like he
Refrain 1:
E G#m
He sees the beauty in a flower
D#7 G#m
That you or I'd pass by
A F#m
Tormented is his mind
B C#m/E B7
But we've ignored the cries
Verse 2 [note extra lines]:
What is the world
To a man with no hands?
E B7
And what is the world
C#7 B7
To a man with no ears?
And what is the world
To a man with no tongue?
To a man with all three
But who knows less than he
Refrain 2:
He feels the world going round
Right beneath his feet
Sees the wealth of man
Struggling in his heat
Instrumental (fuzz bass and guitar duet over verse 1 chords)
Refrain 3:
The frost of Autumn kills the flower
Held in his hand
Pity to lose him now
Summer is the man [end cold on B7]
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BLUES MAGOOS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
