[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb]

That [F] summer feeling [Bb] That summer feeling
That [F] summer feeling [Bb]

When there's [F] things to do not be[Bb]cause you gotta
When you [F] run for love not be[Bb]cause you oughta
When you [F] trust your friends with no [Bb] reason notta
The [Am] joy I name shall [C] not be tamed
And that [?] summer feeling is gonna [?] haunt you
One [?] day in your life. [F] [Bb] [F] [Bb]

I need help with the [?] chords. I know it's an easy song, but what can I say, I suck.

eta: I'm also trying to figure out the embellishment on the Bb. The first three strums are just normal Bb, then the 6th strum you use your pinky to bar the number 1 string at the 3rd fret, which makes the whole chord sound higher in pitch. But what about the 4th strum? In the song it sounds like there is a drop in pitch here, but I can't tell whether this is due to the chord or is a part of the snaking guitar line that's overdubbed right at that part. If it is part of the chord, the best thing I can figure out to do is to lift my middle finger instead of using it to hold down the number 4 string at the 3rd fret (as you do on a normal Bb chord), but this doesn't sound quite right.

Sounds about right to me. Try it.
