SUMMER NIGHTS from GREASE
=============================
(John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John & Cast)
Song notes:
-----------
During whole song there is one background guitar, which plays riffs.
I haven t tried to make it out, I ve just made out tab-guitar.
But during INTRO and LAST VERSE is this guitar silent, so in this parts
riff-guitar appears.
If you ll interested in riffs, look below, there are riffs but they re bad.
They re just made to fit the song.

Summer lovin had me a blast
--
Summer lovin , happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy, cute as can be
Summer days driftin away, to uh-oh those summer nights
[oh-ela-ela-ela-ooh]
Tell me more, tell me more, did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more, like, does he have a car?
--
[aha--tu-dub-aha--tu-dub-aha--tu-dub-tu-dub-dub]
--
She swam by me, she got a cramp
--
He ran by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something s begun, but uh-oh those summer nights
[oh-ela-ela-ela-ooh]
Tell me more, tell me more, was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more, did she put up a fight?
--
[dub--tu-bee-dub--tu-bee-dub--tu-bee-du-bee-du-bee-]
--
[dub--tu-bee-dub--tu-bee-dub--tu-bee-du-bee-du-bee-dub]
--
Took her bowlin in the Arcade
--
We went strollin , drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed up `til ten o clock
Summer fling don t mean a thing, but uh-oh those summer nights
[oh-ela-ela-ela-ooh]
Tell me more, tell me more, but you don t gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more, cause he sounds like a drag
--
[shoo-ba-pa--shoo-ba-pa--shoo-ba-pa--shoo-ba-pa]
--
[shoo-ba-pa--shoo-ba-pa--shoo-ba-pa--shoo-ba-pa]
--
He got friendly, holdin my hand
--
Well she got friendly, down in the sand
He was sweet, just turned eighteen
Well she was good, you know what I mean
Summer heat, boy and girl meet,
but uh-oh those summer nights
[oh-ela-ela-ela-ooh]
Tell me more, tell me more, how much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more, could she get me a friend?
