I've seen some other ways of this song played but they all sound pretty terrible.
I simplified it and it seems to play pretty well.
C C/Em
Butter on a summer day
Am
When she's around
G
I was on the tracks
F
When the gate came down
C C/Em
Suddenly I recognized
Am G F
Those bloodshot rearview mirror eyes as mine
Am G F
I heard that whistle call my name
Am G F
And I almost drove away
Chorus:
C
But Megan I
Em Am G F
had a feeling that you would be on that train
G
So I just waited there for you
C C/Em
Caught a ride to another town
Am
Where the air was clean
G F
And the sun never goes down
C C/Em
Everyone was standing in a line
Am G F
Between the landing and the stairs
Am G F
I heard somebody call my name
Am G F
I almost climbed the stairs
C
But Megan I
Em Am G F
had a feeling that someday you'd meet me there
G
So I just waited there for you
SOLO: Chorus Chords x2
C C/Em
Butter on a summer day
Am
When I hear that name
G F
It's a dream that never came true
C C/Em
Sat down on the tracks
Am G F
And waited for a train to take me back to you
Am G F
Somebody came and took my hand
Am G F
I finally had to go
C
But Megan I
Em Am G
just want you to know
F G C
That I waited as long as I could
C C/Em Am
Butter on a summer day when she's around
Bayside is a cult!
