              It's Summertime - The Flaming Lips
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Album: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

This song has two guitars, guitar 1 is fingerpicking
while guitar 2 is strumming, I have placed the chord
names above the fingerpicking that guitar 1 strums
on the parts that required it.
