The guitars on Henley s recording have been tuned down one step to Eb-Ab-Db-G--Bb-Eb.
If you don t want to take the trouble of re-tuning your guitar but still want to play
along to the original, transpose this tab -2 and then use a capo on the 1st fret to
match the recording.

[Verse]
Nobody on the road, nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air, the summer s out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets, the sun goes down alone
I m drivin by your house, though I know you re not home
[Chorus]
But I can see you
Your brown skin shinin in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
[Solo]

I never will forget those nights, I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy? remember how I made you scream
Now I don t understand what happened to our love
But babe, I m gonna get you back, I m gonna show you what I m made of
[Chorus]
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin in the sun
I see you walkin real slow and you re smilin at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

[Verse]
Out on the road today, I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice Inside my head said, Don t look back. You can never look back
I thought I knew what love was; what did I know?
Those days are gone forever, I should just let them go but
[Chorus]
But I can see you
Your brown skin shinin in the sun
You got top pulled down and the radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
[Chorus]
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
