SUMMER NIGHTS from GREASE
=============================
(John Travolta/Olivia Newton-John & Cast)
Song notes:
-----------
During whole song there is one background guitar, which plays riffs.
I haven't tried to make it out, I've just made out tab-guitar.
But during INTRO and LAST VERSE is this guitar silent, so in this parts
riff-guitar appears.
If you'll interested in riffs, look below, there are riffs but they're bad.
They're just made to fit the song.
