SOUVENIRS (Gretchen Peters; recorded by Suzy Bogguss)
-----------------------------------------------------
[Actually in A; capo 2.]
[Each chord is half a measure.]
[=320033, Gsus9=300233, /=x30033, Gsus9/=x30233. Actually, I could
probably give these chords different names (e.g., I could have written
Gsus9/C as Dsus4/C), but that's not important. The fingerings are what's
important.]
Gsus9 Gsus9 / Gsus9/ / Gsus9/
[intro]
Gsus9 Gsus9 / Gsus9/ / Gsus9/
[intro]
Gsus9 Gsus9 / Gsus9/ / Gsus9/
Set out like Kerouac in my American car
Gsus9 Gsus9 / Gsus9/
Carrying a dream and a road map deep in my American heart
Gsus9 Gsus9 / Gsus9/ / Gsus9/
Where's those mountain majesties, where's those waves of grain
Gsus9 Gsus9 / Gsus9/
Billboards from sea to shining sea, man it ain't the same
They got Mount Rushmore on a cup, everybody needs one of those
For a dollar more they'll fill it up, you can drink out of Lincoln's nose
They got the Hard Rock t-shirts, they got Elvis too
Sooner or later, mark my words, they're gonna get you
Well I've been searching for the promised land
But it's just another neon come-on roadside stand
Gsus9 Gsus9 / Gsus9/ / Gsus9/
Little tin toys that fall apart, that's all they got here
Gsus9 Gsus9 / Gsus9/
I come all this way to find my heart, all I get is souvenirs
[repeat intro chords]
Baby I believed in you, I thought you believed in me
I thought we had a love that's true, not a close facsimile
Now I don't want your dime store ring, it turns my finger green
I don't want your dime store love, I want the real thing
Well I've been searching for the promised land
But it's just another neon come-on roadside stand
Little tin toys that fall apart, that's all we got here
I come all this way to find my heart, all I get is souvenirs
