The funky little riff during the verses goes something like this:
(Clean with a little echo)
e|---------------------------|
B|--------------------------.| Palm mute it and repeat for the length of
G|----------------------H----| the verse (8 times I think)
D|-----9-9-7-7-9-X-9-7-7-9--.|
A|-7-7-----------------------|
E|---------------------------|
[Chorus]
Here's how I play the chords: (A little distortion & chorus)
G C D
e|-3---3---2-|
B|-3---3---3-| I won't bother putting this part in tab,
G|-O---O---2-| just strum each chord where it says to
D|-O---2---O-| and then arpeggiate the notes of the chord
A|-X---3-----| letting the notes ring.
E|-3---------|
G D
But I can see you, you brown skin shining in the sun
D C
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
D D
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
D C
After the boys of summer have gone
The second verse is basically the same as the first, but it has this funkey
lick thrown in at the end:
(Distorted)
e|-----------------12~~~--|
B|-/--/8------10^F~~~~~~--|
G|-/9-(9)-9-7-------------|
D|------------------------|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|
Then there's the second Chorus... same chords as the first
Then there's the Bridge:
(Clean with a little echo)
e|------------------------------------|
B|----------------P------------------.| This is repeated thorught
G|-9-9-7-7-------9-7----9--7----------| the bridge.
D|---------10-10-----10-------10-10--.|
A|------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------|
(Palm Muted)
Here's the riffs for the part after the bridge:
> P >
e|-10-7------||---P-----||-----H--P-----------------|--------------------------|
B|------10~~-||-12-10~~-||-10-8-10-8----H-P---------|(8)----8---8-10-10/12-(8)-|

D|-----------||---------||-------------------9------|--------------------------|
A|-----------||---------||--------------------------|--------------------------|
E|-----------||---------||--------------------------|--------------------------|
Then there's the outro:
(Repeat 7 times)
e|-------------------------|-------------------------------------|
B|-12~-10~-12~-8~----8~---.|--H--8---H--8--H------------8-7-8~~--|

D|------------------------.|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------|-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------|-------------------------------------|
And that's about all of it.
There's some interesting guitar stuff on all the songs on this CD,
no shredding, or incredible chops, but Mike Campbell & Danny Kortchmar
definitely have STYLE!!
If you don't have this CD (Building The Perfect Beast),
BUY IT!!! It's an awesome CD...All She Wants to Do is Dance,
Sunset Grill,
Drivin' With Your Eyes Closed,
and of course this song are
all AWESOME tunes!!!
(I should be posting Drivin' With Your Eyes Closed soon)

Fixed quite a few things to clear up any confusion and to adjust a few notes so it's easier to play and
more correct.
I believe this is now the most correct version available.

Use a clean standard tone with chorus effect for chord richness and
make good use of neck and bridge pickup switching. A few leads use the
bridge pickup with distortion. I have loved this song ever since it
was release and since none of the tabs I found were exactly accurate,
I decided to give it a go.
Please comment if you find anything that needs changing. Thanks.
