Gtp chords: Midsummer Day
Song lyrics:
Midsummer Day: Written by The Tea Party,
Album: Slpendor Solis/The Tea Party.
Tabbed and submitted to 'http://www.ultimate-guitar.com' by Blake Eveleigh.
NOTE: If you are playing this song off The Tea Party's first album, called 'The Tea Party',
then the whole song is played on a 12-string acoustic.
If you are playing this song off Splendor Solis, the first verse
is a 6-string acoustic playing close to the bridge, and a 12-string for the rest...
This tab is written in open C tuning...
C G C G C D, cause it's way easier on your guitar... especially if u have a 12-string.
