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!

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
