	        i did this pretty roughly. i know the song is mostly piano and bass, but this  sounds pretty good 
i use all bar chords 

key of F 
i play with barre chords but you could play open or even with a capo on the 5th fret, 
ill put the shapes for a capo in ( ). 

(play main progressoin till interlude) 
with capo on 5th () 

Dm (Am)  F (C)      Bb (F) 
Squeaky swings and tall grass 
The longest shadows ever cast 
The water's warm and children swim 
And we frolicked about in our summer skin 

I don't recall a single care 
Just greenery and humid air 
Then Labor day came and went 
And we shed what was left of our summer skin 

interlude 
strum each chord once from top to bottom 
F C Dm   or  (C G Am) 
F C Bb       (C G F) 

back to main 
Dm(Am)       F(C)     Bb(F) 
On the night you left I came over 
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders 
Our brand new coats so flushed and pink 
And I knew your heart I couldn't win 
Cause the seasons change was a conduit 
And we left our love in our summer skin 

interlude once
