Summer of 69 Guitar Tab
Summer of 69 is one of those songs every new guitar player wants to play. Here's a simplified tab. I've get things easy by mapping out the chord patterns for the Verses chorus and the picking bit right after each chorus. Enjoy!

Remember the ~ sign indicates that you need to apply vibrato on the note for some extra effect. The PM means Palm mute and the ... indicates which notes needs to be muted. The best way to get the desired effect would be to listen to the original by Bryan Adams and hear what it sounds like. I've excluded the bridge chords ('Man we were killing time we were young...'), but you can find a full Summer of 69 guitar tab at the Ultimate Guitar Archive.
