1999 Camp Green Lane Friendship

"Summer Journey"

 

Lyrics by:
Rachel Adams
Amy Freedman
Ben Stein
Asher Weinberg

Tune:At the Beginning from the motion Picture ANASTASIA
(Although it sounds nothing like it anymore. If you want to know why, it's because both teams changed the Key signature, Green in C and White stayed in Db, whith no key changes like in the actual song. They completely removed all sevenths from the chords, although I kept the Asus4 'cause it sounds cool.)

 

Ok, there's two ways to play this song. Since I was on the white team, I can only tell you how to play it that way, the same way it is on the video, sort of.

Key of Db

Chords:(ALL BARRE CHORDS)
Db 446664
Bbm 113321 (or 688666)
Gb 244322
Ab 466544
Absus4 466644
B 224442

Intro: (This was just made up for the video)
Hold Chords, and play twice
Db Gb
Db Ab

 

First Verse: Hold Chords (No strumming)
Db Bbm
We were best friends
Db Ab
starting our summer journey
Db Bbm
Waited so long
Gb Ab
To be with you again
Bbm Ab Db
Now here we are
Db Gb
Two friends reunited
B Absus4 Ab
Right where our memories began

Second Verse: Start Strumming

Db Bbm
Spent the first night
Db Ab
Reminiscing together
Db Bbm
Shared old stories
Gb Ab
That bring warmth to my heart
Bbm Ab Db
What lies ahead
Db Gb
We'll find out together
B Absus4 Ab
This is the start

Chorus:(Don't play this too fast or it'll lost the song for you. Old judges don't like fast songs ;-)

Db
I want to be your friend for ever
Gb
Green and White blend together
Bbm
Take my hand hold it forever
Gb Absus4 Ab
Cherish this moment
Db
Green Lane has made us family
Gb
So many times you've seen me through
Bbm
Nearing the end I wish I were standing
Gb Absus4 Ab
At the beginning with
Db Gb Db Ab <---Interlude, play these 4 chords twice)
you

Third Verse: Same as second

Db Bbm
We were best friends
Db Ab
But soon were divided
Db Bbm
Waring rivals
Gb Ab
The battle began
Bbm Ab Db
Now here we are
Db Gb
Across from eachother
B Absus4 Ab
Right where our memories began

Chorus: Same thing again, but a different interlude at the end.

Db
I want to be your friend for ever
Gb
Green and White blend together
Bbm
Take my hand hold it forever
Gb Absus4 Ab
Cherish this moment
Db
Green Lane has made us family
Gb
So many times you've seen me through
Bbm
Nearing the end I wish I were standing
Gb Absus4 Ab
At the beginning with
Db Gb Bbm Gb Absus4 Ab (Different Interlude)

Bridge: This is the part that inter boys love the most. The slide after "but you'll always be with me." Its on the A string, from the 13th fret down to a Db chord. Have fun with it. If you don't play it, I'm sure you'll hear some little kid sound it out on his own.

Db
Wish the summer wasn't ending
Gb Bbm<----hold
Time flies by eight weeks are almost gone
---SLIDE---(13th fret on A string down to Db chord)
But you'll always be with me
Db
Green Lane has made us family
Gb
So many times you've seen me through
Bbm
Nearing the end I wish I were standing
Gb Ab Db <-----Hold all three chords
At the beginning with you

 

Harmony: Sung while the Db chord is held
I want to be your friend for ever
Cherish this moment

 

NOTE:If you're a white-teamer, and don't like to end that way, you can just repeat the last line of the song like this:

Gb Ab Db (Still Strumming)
At the beginning with you
Gb Ab Db <-----Hold all three chords
At the beginning with you

Its up to you.
