SOUVENIRS (Gretchen Peters; recorded by Suzy Bogguss) ----------------------------------------------------- [Actually in A; capo 2.] [Each chord is half a measure.] [G=320033, Gsus9=300233, G5/C=x30033, Gsus9/C=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.]
G5/CGsus9/CG5/CGsus9/C Set out like Kerouac in my American car G5/CGsus9/C Carrying a dream and a road map deep in my American heart G5/CGsus9/CG5/CGsus9/C Where's those mountain majesties, where's those waves of grain G5/CGsus9/C 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
D7sus4D7sus4 Well I've been searching for the promised land
But it's just another neon come-on roadside stand G5/CGsus9/CG5/CGsus9/C Little tin toys that fall apart, that's all they got here G5/CGsus9/C 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
