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.]
[intro]
[intro]
Set out like Kerouac in my American car
Carrying a dream and a road map deep in my American heart
Where's those mountain majesties, where's those waves of grain
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
Little tin toys that fall apart, that's all they got here
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
