There's a version already on ultimate-guitar for this song, but I felt that a few chords and the solo might have
Since I'm trying to put some theory behind my playing, I'm pretty sure the song is in the key of D#m, and
the solo/riff is built off of a C# Major scale with a flattened octave on the first note! These goofy goofs,
F# C#
F# C#
F#On darkened C#streets tonight
F#I see a C#simple time
F#I see the C#warning light
And the G#msummer comes unBdone
F#No sorry C#closing eyes
F#No cutting C#down to size
F#No other C#thoughts arise
And the G#msummer comes unBdone
