“...spend the rest of summer stoned” (1:10)
this part just goes through these chords, strummed, starting with the first
watch out for the sudden drop in strumming at 1:37 after the second “..nothing to moan about”

“it's such a ride” (2:54)
these chords, strummed:
e-----------------------5---7---------------14---|---14-12--12-14----|
b-----------------------6---8---------------15---|--------15---------|
g-10---8---3------------5---7---------------14---|-------------------|
d-11---9---4------------3---5---------------12---|-------------------|
a--------------x3,then--3---5--slide-up-to--12---|-------------------|
D-12---7---5------------3---5---------------12---|-------------------|
they just strum that last chord for a while, and right before the last part of the song
throw in that last little melody
“we're bigger than memphis...” (3:27)
follow the strumming pattern on the song
e--------------------------------------------------------------------|
b--------------------------------------------------------------------|
g--------------------------------------------------------------------|
d-12--14--17--12b14-12b14b12-----------------------------------------|
a-12--14--17--12----12-----------------------------------------------|
D-12--14--17--12----12-----------------------------------------------|
the ending of the song goes like this, but it can be tricky to catch the right beat
you don't do the bendy thing on the last chord here, just do this:
e--------------------------------------------------------------------|
b--------------------------------------------------------------------|
g--------------------------------------------------------------------|
d-12-12-12-12-1212121212p0-12--12---12-11-12-12b14-0-----------------|
