Out of Summertime - Scotty McCreery
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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!
C
It's the Duquoin, Illinois county fair
F C
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
F C
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
F (let ring) C
But we ran out of summertiiiiiime
C
Spent a few weeks out on a lake shore beach
F C
Carved our names high as we could reach on an old wooden pier
We made plans we planned to keep
F C
300 miles from her to me and her senior year
G
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
F C
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
F C
She was hot as July and sweet as sunshine
G
Oh, she could've been mine
F C
But we ran out of summertiiiiiime
C
If the days had only stayed that long
F
And those autumn leaves didn't have to fall
C
Oh, we'd have fell in love
'Cause what we felt on that Ferris wheel
F
Was just too right and just too real
C
But just not long enough
G
Oh, she could've been mine
F [let ring, then build to chorous with single strums]
But we ran out of summertime
C
And of all the things I let get away
F C
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
F C
She was hot as July, sweet as sunshine
G
Oh, she could've been mine
F C
But we ran out of summertiiiiime
C [very clean picking for this section]
And of all the things I let get away
F C
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
F C
sweet as sunshine
C [back to half and half]
And of all the things I let get away
F C
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
F C
She was hot as July, sweet as sunshine
G
Oh, she could've been mine
F
But we ran out of summertime
C
