Summer Feels Like You
B♭ major~162 BPM4/43:20barefoot-swinghigh confidence
Capo 1 — play the shapes in A and it sounds in B♭ major. Much easier than fingering B♭ major straight.
Verse 1
Bare feet on the dashboard
Flip-flops on the floorboard, sand and sunscreen
You're laughing at my sunburn
Cherry cola in your hand, blue cut-off jeans
FM up, that backroad buzz
Wind in your hair, can't get enough
Every mile's a little more true
'Cause summer feels like you
Verse 2
All this heat on my skin
Ain't what's making me spin
It's the way that you're looking at me
Like I'm all that you see, oh yeah
Chorus
This is how your love feels
Like a July sky, big and wide and real
Like a front porch swing, slow and sweet
Like cool creek water running over my feet
Sun going down, but my heart's lit up
Fireflies dancing when you lean in close-up
If I could bottle up this view
I'd name it summer feels like you
Verse 3
Two straws in a milkshake
You steal the cherry, I just let you win
Moonrise in the rearview
County fair lights getting closer in
You're singing off key to my favorite song
But I don't care, so I sing along
Every laugh's a little more proof
Yeah, summer feels like you
Verse 4
All this heat on my skin
Ain't what's making me spin
It's the way that your hand finds mine
Every single time, hey!
Chorus
This is how your love feels
Like a July sky, big and wide and real
Like a front porch swing, slow and sweet
Like cool creek water running over my feet
Sun going down, but my heart's lit up
Fireflies dancing when you lean in close-up
If I could bottle up this view
I'd name it summer feels like you
Bridge
When the leaves start turning brown
And the days start slowing down
I'll still taste this lemonade kiss
Still feel this sun in the middle of the mist
'Cause every season I walk through
I'm carrying this summer with you, with you
Chorus
This is how your love feels
Like a July sky, big and wide and real
Like a front porch swing, slow and sweet
Like cool creek water running over my feet
Sun going down, but my heart's lit up
Fireflies dancing when you lean in close-up
If I could bottle up this view
I'd name it summer feels like you
Yeah, summer feels like you

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
Download note mapA lead sheet, not a full score. The melody line has been reduced automatically from the recording and paired with the detected chords. Expect the shape of the tune to be right and the details to be approximate.
