Watermelon Weather
Red, white, pink and green — the best summer there ever was.
All songs / David Alan Graham
Red, white, pink and green — the best summer there ever was.

Screen door slammin', smoke off the grill
Kids on bikes flyin' down the hill
Sprinkler spinnin' in the front yard sun
Whole block out 'fore the day's begun
Cooler's loaded, speakers up loud
Stars and stripes on every house
And the sky turns gold, the air gets sweet
You can taste it rollin' down the street
It's watermelon weather, baby
Red, white, pink, and green
Fireworks crackin', sparklers flashin'
Best dang summer I've ever seen
Hands up, sing along, everybody
Pass the plate, pass the lemonade
Watermelon weather, oh-oh
Made for days like these we made
Pool's full, the dog's soaked too
Granddad flippin' burgers, ain't nothin' to do
But laugh too loud and eat too much
Sticky-finger sweet summer touch
Aunt Joanne's potato salad king
Cousin Cole just snapped a string
And the sky turns gold, the air gets sweet
You can taste it rollin' down the street
It's watermelon weather, baby
Red, white, pink, and green
Fireworks crackin', sparklers flashin'
Best dang summer I've ever seen
Hands up, sing along, everybody
Pass the plate, pass the lemonade
Watermelon weather, oh-oh
Made for days like these we made
Hey! — sun on my shoulders
Hey! — grass on my feet
Hey! — town all together
Hey! — this is what summer means
1, 2, 3, 4 —
It's watermelon weather, baby
Red, white, pink, and green
Fireworks crackin', sparklers flashin'
Best dang summer I've ever seen
Hands up, sing along, everybody
Pass the plate, pass the lemonade
Watermelon weather, oh-oh
Made for days like these we made
Watermelon weather, oh-oh

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.
