Ataris - Summer Wind Was Always Our Song guitar tab
"Summer Wind Was Always Our Song" by The Ataris
Tab by Jay Bartholomew
I've seen a few tabs for this song and they all involve 2 or more guitars. I usually
play guitar by myself so... here's my version. It's more accurate in many areas, but
long. I kind of lined up the lyrics with the guitar, but you still may be required to
think. A lot of the intro outro stuff is "heard" differently by different people.
This is how I play it.
