Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams

The verses are just D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA ... as many as needed with the change
occurring on every second bar. There is an additional two bars of D MajorD
at the start as well.
The way to play it is something like this:

 D.  .  .  .   .  .  .  .   D.  .  .  .   .  .  .  .
|-----------------|-----------------||-----------------|-----------------|
|-3-----3---------|-----------------||-3-----3---------|-------------3---|
|-2---2-2---2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-----||-2---2-2---2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---|
|-0---0-0---0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---||-0---0-0---0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---|
|-----------------|-------------0---||-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------||-----------------|-----------------|
 A.  .  .  .   .  .  .  .
|-----------------|-----------------||
|-----------------|-----------------|| repeat last 4 bars throughout
|-2-----2---------|-------------2---|| verses.
|-2---2-2---2-2-2-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2---||
|-0---0-0---0-0-0-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---||
|-----------------|-----------------||
 The dots show the beat.
Use moderate amounts of overdrive, and mute the 2's with your palm to get
the distinctive percussive sound.        0

The Chorus chords are |B minorBm|A augmentedA|D MajorD|G+G|B minorBm|A augmentedA|D MajorD|G+G|B minorBm|A augmentedA| (I use BB instead of B minorBm)
use standard open A,D, and G+G and a barred A augmentedA shape for B.

The keyboard riff is sort of an arpegiated D MajorD and A augmentedA ie.
 D MajorD                  A augmentedA
|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0---2---|-----------------|------------------|
|---3-----3-----3-|-----3-----------|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0----2---|
|-----2-----2-----|-2-----2---2---2-|---2-----2-----3-|-----2------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----2-----2-----|-2-----2----2---2-|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------|

This sounds a bit messy with overdrive, so play it clean, or (even easier)
just play the melody part (which is mainly what you hear on the CD anyway)

e|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0---2---|-----------------|------------------|
b|-----------------|-----------------|-0-----2-----3---|---2-----0---2----|

For the key change after the second chorus, the chords are:
|FF|Bb majorBb|C majorC|Bb majorBb|FF|Bb majorBb|C majorC|C| again use the barred A augmentedA shape for Bb majorBb and C.
That's about all for Summer of '69
