[Intro]
| Fmaj7 | G6 | 2x
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7
Every time I see a sunset, I get
G6
A burnin' down in my heart, and wonder where you are
Fmaj7
Every time I feel a warm breeze, I see
G6
Your yellow sundress dance, two hearts in the sand, and damn
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 G6
I just can't believe I got all caught up in it like a wave over you
G6
What a fool
Fmaj7 G6
Oh, I guess I should've known it was so good, it would be over too soon
G6
Oh, I never knew
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
It was just the summer talkin'
G6
Taste of the salt in your kiss that had me hypnotized
Fmaj7
Girl, the way the sun was shinin', I was blinded
G6
Thinkin' you were only mine
Fmaj7 G6
Oh, I, I, I thought wе'd be together from thеn until forever, but September came callin'
Fmaj7
Said it was just the summer talkin'
G6
It was just the summer talkin'
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7
It's funny how that heat can wear off when the leaves fall
G6
And I fell too, so why didn't you?
Fmaj7
I guess we were just a couple months kind of crush, not enough
G6
Don't wanna make it last, still wouldn't take it back
[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7 G6
Oh, I can't believe I got all caught up in it like a wave over you
G6
What a fool (Yeah)
Fmaj7 G6
Oh, I guess I should've known it was so good, it would be over too soon
G6
Oh, I never knew
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
It was just the summer talkin'
G6
Taste of the salt in your kiss that had me hypnotized
Fmaj7
Girl, the way the sun was shinin', I was blinded
G6
Thinkin' you were only mine
Fmaj7 G6
Oh, I, I, I thought wе'd be together from thеn until forever, but September came callin'
Fmaj7
Said it was just the summer talkin'
G6
It was just the summer talkin'
[Bridge]
Fmaj7
Heartbreak for a souvenir, wishin' you were here
G6
But you're gone, gone, gone
Fmaj7
Heartbreak for a souvenir, wishin' you were here (Souvenir, you were here)
G6
But you're gone, gone, gone
Fmaj7
Yeah, and it was just the summer talkin'
G6
Lyin' to me (Lyin')
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
It was just the summer talkin'
G6
Taste of the salt in your kiss that had me hypnotized
Fmaj7
Girl, the way the sun was shinin', I was blinded
G6
Thinkin' you were only mine
Fmaj7 G6
Oh, I, I, I thought wе'd be together from thеn until forever, but September came callin'
Fmaj7
Said it was just the summer talkin'
G6
It was just the summer talkin'
[Outro]
Fmaj7
It was just the summer talk, summer talk
G6
It was just the summer talkin'
Fmaj7
It was just the summer talk, summer talk
G6
It was just the summer talkin'
How to play "Summer Talkin" by Tyler Hubbard on guitar
Playing Style:
- For this song, use soft strumming to match its mellow tone. The chords
Fmaj7 and G6 are predominantly used, creating a relaxed, summery vibe.
[Intro and Verse Chord Progression]:
- The song begins with a straightforward progression of Fmaj7 to G6. Play
each chord for a measure, repeating twice for the intro.
- For the verses, maintain this progression, focusing on smooth transitions
between the chords. You'll want to ensure each chord rings out fully before
switching to the next.
Strumming Pattern:
- Use a gentle strumming pattern, primarily focusing on downstrokes. A simple
pattern like D-DU-UD-DU (D=down, U=up) works well to keep the rhythm light
and flowing.
Common Mistakes:
- Avoid rushing the tempo; the laid-back feel of the song requires a measured
pace.
- Ensure your Fmaj7 and G6 chords are clean. The openness of these chords can
expose any muted or buzzing strings.
Chorus:
- Continue with the same chords and strumming pattern. The lyrical delivery
changes, but the guitar should maintain its steady, supporting role.
Bridge:
- The bridge also uses the same chords. Pay attention to dynamics here,
perhaps playing slightly softer to build back up for the final chorus.
Lyrics Meaning:
- "Summer Talkin'" captures the fleeting nature of summer romances. The lyrics
reflect on the temporary, often illusionary feelings that come with a
seasonal relationship, highlighting the nostalgia and heartache as the
season changes.
