I am sending the chords to the song "Summer Of Drugs" performed by
Soul Asylum on the Victoria Williams benefit album "Sweet Relief". Any
corrections on the lyrics and/or chords are welcome (and encouraged).
SUMMER OF DRUGS (Victoria Williams)
performed by Soul Asylum
Intro: E
E A B E
Sister got bit by a copperhead snake in the woods behind the house
E A B E
And nobody was home so I grabbed her foot and I sucked that poison out
A
Sister got better in a month or two when the swelling it went down
E A B E
But I started off my teenage years with a poison in my mouth
Chorus:
A E A E
And we were too young to be hippies missed out on love
A E E B A
Return to our teen in the late seventies in a summer of the drugs
E A B E
Mommy and Daddy could never understand that life was never cold
E A B E
Their idea of a rollicking town was a kitchen tap appall
A
Acid, grass, downs and speed, junked us days were made of
E A B E
How could they suspect those kids where the monsters eat their makers
Chorus:
A E A E
And they were too young to be hippies missed out on love
A E
We learned from the teens of the late seventies in a
E B E
Summer of the drugs
F# D
Boys and girls in every town
F# C#
Sandman spread his sand around
F# B D C# B
Now we are just waking up from a summer of drugs
A E A
Hey hey (hey hey), woh woh (woh woh), uh-huh (uh-huh)
E A E
Hey yeah (hey yeah), hey hey (hey hey), woh woh (woh woh)
E B A
Oh yeah yeah yeah
E A B E
Mommies and Daddies are too shy to talk about those birds and bees
E A B E
Integrated schools had stopped, facts of life please
A
Girls and boys went away came back, empty after weekend
E A B E
The talk on the phone consisted of a hush, voices speaking
Chorus:
A E A E
And they were too young to be hippies missed out on love
A E E B E
Return to our teen in the late seventies in a summer of the drugs
A E
And they were too young (too young)
A E
And they were too fast (too fast)
A E E B E
Oh, the summer of drugs
A E A E A E A E ...

"Chuck"
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 SOUL ASYLUM 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.
