Summer

Key: CEasy

(lead)

(rhythm)

Post-Chorus (can't really figure out the lead here, sorry)

rhythm:

this next part I'm really unsure about but it kinda sounds close?

'''' ' ' ' ' '''' ' ' ' '''' ' ' ' '''' ' ' '

lead:

rhythm (all downstrokes):

then the lead guitar plays the intro riff a few times ("you were easy on my eyes...")

and the rhythm just lets the C5 power chord ring out twice

Final Chorus:

and the lead just does the chords from the 2nd verse

It's probably far from perfect but there you go! Please send me any corrections or feedback

Anchor Down

Key: AHard

C#m

F#m

IA don't really think that I'm rC#meady for aDnother Chicago wAinter

So you can C#mstop making my bDones feel cold

I sAwear that emptiness livesC#m inside yourD chest

You're the reAason you fell far away C#mfrom what bDrought out your bAest

Don't get me wDronAg, I wish a lot of things were the wDay Athey used to be

F#mEmAD

The Astreets that used to make me feel aDlivAe just make me feel aDlonAe

The holes in the wall get bigger eF#mveryEm yeAarD

ItA's hard to tEhink that some pBeople in this wDorld look at me

WAith the same eEyes as yDours I've been breaking all ten fingers for you

AAnd you wouldn't eEven lift one Bup for meD

AppreciAation's something you lEost in the dDirt that's on your hands and knees D E

But I'm never gAonna be just a hole in the F#mwall

You can anchor down your feEet and say fuck the past and eDveryone that dragged you here

IA'm not putting myself on a pF#medestal

You need to stand up for yourEself and who you claim you used to Dbe

ItA's hard to tEhink that some pBeople in this wDorld look at me

WAith the same eEyes as yDours I've been breaking all ten fingers for you

AAnd you wouldn't eEven lift one Bup for meD

AppreciAation's something you lEost in the dDirt that's on your hands and knees D E

(Mute interlude: Anchor down your feet, say fuck the past and everyone that dragged you here

Just stand up for yourself and who you claim you used to be!)

ItA's hard to tEhink that some pBeople in this wDorld look at me

WAith the same eEyes as yDours I've been breaking all ten fingers for you

AAnd you wouldn't eEven lift one Bup for meD

AppreciAation's something you lEost in the dDirt that's on your hands and knees D E
