The Short Sweet Summer

[Intro] [Heavy acoustic guitar strumming starts the rhythm] [Steady bass drum with rhythmic handclaps join in] [An electric guitar plays a big, catchy stadium-rock hook melody] [Verse 1] They say the winter lasted way too long But now we’re tuning up to sing our song The beach is packed, the water’s feeling fine We’re checking out of work and crossing the line [Instrumental Break] [Long melodic electric guitar solo with a warm alternative rock tone] [Drums keep a very steady, driving arena beat with handclaps] [Verse 2] The evening comes but it refuses to fade We’re sitting out here in the open shade So pour another glass and raise it high We’re drinking to the big American sky [Instrumental Break] [Extended rhythmic piano and acoustic guitar duel] [Bass guitar plays a bouncy, driving rock bassline] [Verse 3] The summer is short, most of it rains away So you better hold on to this beautiful day Don't let the moments slip out of your hand We are the luckiest crowd in the land [Instrumental Break] [Epic instrumental jam session] [Electric guitar takes over with a soaring classic rock solo] [Drums build up intense energy with heavy snare hits and tom rolls] [Verse 4] The morning is waking in blankets of gold But this wild summer rhythm will never grow old We keep the fire burning, we sing it out loud The absolute pride of this midsummer crowd [Outro] [Vocals stop and the band goes into a massive allsång-groove] [Guitar shreds a long high-energy final solo alongside crowd cheers] [Music fades out slowly with a big crashing cymbal finish and heavy handclaps] [End]
