This is definitely a "girl song" so I must make it clear, I only enjoy the melody and intro riff, not the message. haha. It's kind of selfish and trivial anyway isn't it? Oh well, I hope ya'll enjoy the pickin'!

Verse 1:

     G                              G
Well here you come again and you're looking so fine
    F#m                       F#m
You don't notice me, but it's alright
           G                    G               G        Bm
I'm just a guy who wishes that I could be your man someday
       G                         G
Yeah a picture paints a thousand words it's true
         F#m                        F#m 
But it's still not enough for how I feel about you
        Em                      Em                 G
I wanna put you in a melody, I gotta set you to groove

Chorus:

D                     G
I wanna put you in my car and drive and turn you up loud
D
Roll down all the windows and shout it out
       G
I love this girl
D                   G
Oh if I could press play, repeat how happy I'd be
D
Where ever I'd go I'd have you there with me
          Em
You'd be right where you belong

I wanna put you in a song (Replay Intro)

Verse 2:
Well I'd sing about your smile and your pretty blue eyes
The way your hair shimmers in the sunlight
It'd be so easy I'd just write it from my heart
Cause I gotta tell the world what you mean to me
Wrap you up in a melody so you'll be stuck in my head all day
Cause you're already there anyway, yes you are

(Chorus)

Bridge:
A                                                  Em 
And if I get it right everybody will be singing along, oh yeah
               A
And when they see you on the street they'll say
      G
Hey, ain't you the girl in that song?

(Solo, not tabbed yet)

(Chorus)

Song of the Week: Brad Paisley's "This is Country Music"

Brad Paisley's new single This is Country Music has to be one of the best songs ever. It's like "every country song" mixed into one. Paisley highlights the authenticity, faith, bravery, and patriotism associated with the music of middle-America. It's no wonder he one "entertainer of the year" at the CMA's this same evening. This is a must listen to!

How to Be a Country Star: Updated

If the Statler Brothers were around today their classic song How to Be a Country Star might sing a little differently.

Original Statler Brothers Version



Updated for Today Version




There's questions I’m always hearing every where I go
Like can city slickers make it on the country shows

Well, it takes more than just a twangy voice to hide who you really are
There's a few more things you ought to learn to be a country star

You got to learn to dance like Simpson or dress like the band Perry
Be pretty like Gloriana, or play rock like Jason Aldean
Put a rasp in your voice like Kracker, go to high school like Taylor
Cross over like Kid Rock did and you'll be a country star

Gel your hair like Rascal Flatts does or troy or Kelly or Keith
Have a beard like James Otto or a father like Miley
Be old just like the Eagles and Jewel you just can’t ignore
Make no sense like Sugarland, and you’ll be a Country star.

As for think Mr. Bojangles, and it's not too hard to figure out.

Song of the Week: Sunny Sweeney's "From a Table Away"

This week's song of the week goes to Sunny Sweeney's brand new single From a Table Away. With it's deep crisp electric guitar riffs and haunting pedal steel licks Texas native Sweeney certainly showcases her southwestern credentials. The song is about a girl who think she's in love with a man who has left his former lover to be with her. She finds out unexpectedly that in reality he's playing both sides of the fence when she sees them in a dimly lit restaurant showing affection. Just as always, Country music shows the other side of evil - it's negative consequences. Cheating may be fun for a season, but in the end it results in hurt and confusion.
