A Little Bit South Of Saskatoon Tab by Sonny James


Here's a cool little tune that I first heard in the classic hockey movie "Slapshot".  I
included he basic chord structure of the song as well as the full tab with chord
condensed to one guitar part.  I have tried to make timing as obvious as possible; all 
are eighth notes:

A Little Bit South of Saskatoon
Written by: Sonny James (1975)
Transcribed by: David Podradchik (2007)

This is used for the intro and verse throughout the song:

Intro: A D G C (same as the rest of the song)

A                          D
Just a little bit south of Saskatoon
           G                  C
Pick my guitar for board and room
A                               D
Met a little girl, her name was June
             G             C
A little bit south of Saskatoon

A                          D
Me and Junny-Mae we got on fine
              G                     C
Till I had to move further down the line
A                              D
Promised that girl I'd be back soon
             G             C
A little bit south of Saskatoon

A                          D
Went up to Nome to see the sights
             G                  C
Had a yen to watch the northern lights
A                             D
But I had my mind on my sweet June
             G             C
A little bit south of Saskatoon

A                                D
So I caught a freight and headed back
          G                  C
Following down that railroad track
A                          D
Kept a thinkin' of my honeymoon
             G             C
A little bit south of Saskatoon

A                             D
Me and Junny-Mae got a little house
               G                     C
Got a piece of ground and a few milk cows
A                          D
We're gonna get a youngin' soon
             G             C
A little bit south of Saskatoon

A                                D
In the winter time when we can't farm
             G              C
Me and Junny-Mae sit arm in arm
A                          D
By a big ole fire and honeymoon
             G             C
A little bit south of Saskatoon
