To learn Ray LaMontagne - For the Summer chords with lyrics, grasp the musical fabric of the song with this sequence: Bb, F, C, Gm, Eb, C, Gm, F. I suggest starting at a calm pace of 37 BPM, and as you gain confidence, approach the song's BPM of 76. Considering the song's key of F, position your capo to suit your vocal and chord preferences.
