Indian Summer by Stereophonics Lyric and Guitar Chords

The main part of this song is acoustic, but there are some lead guitar parts which I am
going to tab here for you.

/ slide
//slide and pick the note that you have slid to

Intro

Acoustic chords

A minor, Fmaj7, C major, G major

Lead guitar part- use a chorus effect if you have one and some distortion(sounds nice
with a slide/bottleneck but the other lead parts in the song do not require a slide so it
may be awkward for you to keep taking it on and off)

Let this note ring a bit/

Verse 1

Everytime that I see her
A lightning bolt fills the room
The underbelly of Paris
She sings her favourite tune

Verse 2

She’ll drink you under the table
She’ll show you a trick or two
And every that I left her
I miss a thing she would do

Pre-chorus

She was the one, for me
She opened my eyes, to see
She was the one, for me
Oh alright

Lead part- clean tone

Chorus

For the lead part of this, you may want to either play the chords with a small bit of
distortion, or just arpeggiate the chords

It was a cold September
Before the Indian Summer
That’s the thing I remember
When she gave me her number

Went from station to station
On a train across the nation
And the rain of November
That’s the time that we ended

Bridge

The lead is the same as the pre-chorus

She was the one, for me
Oh alright

Verse 3

The chords are the same as the other verses

Vodka with coca-cola
Cocaine tucked in her shoes
Cigarettes over coffee
Her halo slipped to a noose

I’m pretty sure that 3 guitars are playing this part, 1 guitar for the chord, 1 electric
with a clean tone and 1 electric with distorted sound, so just play whichever one you like

Clean lead

Play this through all of the chords

-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|

Distorted slide lead parts

These come in at various points throughout the verse, so just listen out for them, it’s
not very hard to listen for them because they stand out with the distortion. Again use
the effects used for the intro.

Verse 4

Take the slow boat to China
You fly it right ’round the moon
She could take it or leave it
I knew it had to end soon
