Tabbed by: Kahsm Tuning: Standard I'm by no means great at tabbing by ear, and this would be the first ever that I post, but this song didn't seem to exist yet and this version worked out for me in impressing a girl who, for some reason, adores Scottie. So I hope someone else might be able to use it too. Use a fast country feeling picking pattern through the verse to get that banjo feel, with a few hammer-ons here and there. I kinda like 5 3 4 2 as a base pattern, but I vary _a lot_ through the song. It should be quite brisk, I get through that 4 times between "Duquoin" to "fair". Actually I just tried it and it's more like... | 5 R 3 2 | h> 4 3 2 | 5 34 [1'3' 2] or [2'4' 3] | very light tap on transitional ' '-ed strings between beats "34" is half notes, hit string 3 then 4 twice as quickly than in the other measures Anyway, just trying to give you an idea of how I try to get the right feel given these chords which may be horribly wrong. Good Luck! C5 It's the Duquoin, Illinois county fair F5 C5 I could still see you standing there like a dream Flatbed stage on a little dirt track She was second row, her hair pulled back F5 C5 We were young and free G [hit 6th string string once then strum down on "Oh" similar for the F everytime this part happens] Oh, she could've been mine F5 (let ring) C5 But we ran out of summertiiiiiime C5 Spent a few weeks out on a lake shore beach F5 C5 Carved our names high as we could reach on an old wooden pier We made plans we planned to keep F5 C5 300 miles from her to me and her senior year G5 Oh, she could've been mine F (let ring, then build to chorous with single strums) But we ran out of summertime C [half strum half pick to ge a full sound without losing the twangy feel] And of all the things I let get away F5 C5 She's the one that keeps me awake at night And I've never seen days go by so fast A little more sand falling through the glass F5 C5 She was hot as July and sweet as sunshine G5 Oh, she could've been mine F5 C5 But we ran out of summertiiiiiime C5 If the days had only stayed that long F5 And those autumn leaves didn't have to fall C5 Oh, we'd have fell in love 'Cause what we felt on that Ferris wheel F5 Was just too right and just too real C5 But just not long enough G5 Oh, she could've been mine F [let ring, then build to chorous with single strums] But we ran out of summertime C5 And of all the things I let get away F5 C5 She's the one that keeps me awake at night And I've never seen days go by so fast A little more sand falling through the glass F5 C5 She was hot as July, sweet as sunshine G5 Oh, she could've been mine F5 C5 But we ran out of summertiiiiime C [very clean picking for this section] And of all the things I let get away F5 C5 She's the one that keeps me awake at night And I've never seen days go by so fast A little more sand falling through the glass F5 C5 sweet as sunshine C [back to half and half] And of all the things I let get away F5 C5 She's the one that keeps me awake at night And I've never seen days go by so fast A little more sand falling through the glass F5 C5 She was hot as July, sweet as sunshine G5 Oh, she could've been mine F5 But we ran out of summertime C5 -Kahsm
