Just South of Nowhere (Gin Blossoms cover)

This is my miked one-take on a song written by Jesse Valenzuela of the Gin Blossoms.

I played this chord sheet
http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/g/gin_blossoms/just_south_of_nowhere_crd.htm

so it's D major but i put a capo on 2 to play G F C etc

Oh My Sweet Carolina

original chord sheet from http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/r/ryan_adams/oh_my_sweet_carolina_crd.htm


these are the true chords. the original chord sheet has a capo on 2, which makes this easier to play on guitar but trickier on other instruments that cannot be transposed as easily.


here is the original studio performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJY50iaYqJY

Verse 1
    D                         G       D
I went down to Houston and I stopped in San Antone
    D                            A
I passed up the station for the bus
      G                 D               Bm               G
Was trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
          D          A               D
Man I ended up with pockets full of dust


Verse 2 (same chords):
So I went on to Cleveland and I ended up insane
Bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
I was spendin' money like the way it likes to rain
Man I ended up with pockets full of cane


Chorus:
      Bm  G      D      Bm       G           A
Oh my swe-eet Carolina, what compels me to go
      Bm  G         D              Bm      A         G
Oh my swe-eet disposition, may you one day carry me home


(repeat intro)
Verse 3:
I ain't never been to Vegas but I gambled up my life
Building newsprint boats I raced to sewer mains
Trying to find me something but I wasn't sure just what
Funny how they say that some things never change


(repeat chorus)


(piano break)
Bm G D A x3
D D/C# Bm A G


Verse 4:
Up here in the city, it feels like things are closin' in
The sunset's just my light bulb burning out
I miss Kentucky and I miss my family
All the sweetest winds they blow across the south


(repeat chorus)
         Bm     A        D G
May you one day carry me ho____me.
Bm     A        D G
Bm     A        D

Bm G D A
D D/C# Bm A G


end on D

Summertime

by Mark Sickmiller

Key: Db

To play in Db, the chords below should be played with a capo on 1.

 C.    F.    C.   F

706 time to rise and shine

Don't know how I fell so far out of line

The suns been up for an hour or so

Gotta be awake for summer before it goes

C.  F.  C.  F. 

Busy day ahead fueled by lucky charms

I'll hit the pool and you can watch the farm

Please keep the chickens out of the pool

They'd just flap around like a bunch of fools

Am  g.  F.  C. 

Because there ain't no time like summertime

Baseball games and clothes on the line

Some folks just stay inside and whine

But I say ... gimme the heat cuz this is my time

Playing putt putt and ignoring the rules

I came across a new way to stay cool

Just chase your ball into the creek

Oops I tripped think I'll lay here all week

Thin green hands always waving hello

Living it up because they heard about snow

Thinkin about it won't change a thing

You're gonna get from life whatever you bring

..chorus..

...solo...

 ...chorus...
