			     Out of Summertime - Scotty McCreery
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Kahsm

Tuning: Standard

I'm by no means great at tabbing by ear, and this would be the first ever that I post,
but this song didn't seem to exist yet and this version worked out for me in impressing a
girl who, for some reason, adores Scottie. So I hope someone else might be able to use 
it too.

Use a fast country feeling picking pattern through the verse to get that banjo feel,
with a few hammer-ons here and there. I kinda like 5 3 4 2 as a base pattern, but I vary _a
lot_ through the song. It should be quite brisk, I get through that 4 times between 
"Duquoin" to "fair".

Actually I just tried it and it's more like... | 5 R 3 2 | h> 4 3 2 | 5 34 [1'3' 2] or
[2'4' 3] |

very light tap on transitional ' '-ed strings between beats
"34" is half notes, hit string 3 then 4 twice as quickly than in the other measures
Anyway, just trying to give you an idea of how I try to get the right feel given these
chords which may be horribly wrong. Good Luck!

         C
It's the Duquoin, Illinois county fair
                                      F           C
I could still see you standing there   like a dream

Flatbed stage on a little dirt track

She was second row, her hair pulled back
         F           C
We were   young and free
G            [hit 6th string string once then strum down on "Oh" similar for the F
everytime this part happens]
Oh, she could've been mine
    F (let ring)              C
But we ran out of summertiiiiiime

        C
Spent a few weeks out on a lake shore beach
                                         F                 C
Carved our names high as we could reach   on an old wooden pier

We made plans we planned to keep
                                  F         C
300 miles from her to me and her   senior year
G
Oh, she could've been mine
    F (let ring, then build to chorous with single strums)
But we ran out of summertime

       C       [half strum half pick to ge a full sound without losing the twangy feel]
And of all the things I let get away
                                      F     C
She's the one that keeps me awake at night

And I've never seen days go by so fast

A little more sand falling through the glass
        F                           C
She was hot as July and sweet as sunshine
G
Oh, she could've been mine
    F                        C
But we ran out of summertiiiiiime

       C
If the days had only stayed that long
                                             F
And those autumn leaves didn't have to fall
                      C
Oh, we'd have fell in love

'Cause what we felt on that Ferris wheel
                                       F
Was just too right and just too real
                    C
But just not long enough

G
Oh, she could've been mine
    F       [let ring, then build to chorous with single strums]
But we ran out of summertime

       C
And of all the things I let get away
                                     F       C
She's the one that keeps me awake at night

And I've never seen days go by so fast

A little more sand falling through the glass
        F                        C
She was hot as July, sweet as sunshine
G
Oh, she could've been mine
    F                       C
But we ran out of summertiiiiime


       C     [very clean picking for this section]
And of all the things I let get away
                                     F      C
She's the one that keeps me awake at night

And I've never seen days go by so fast

A little more sand falling through the glass
      F                    C
               sweet as sunshine

       C   [back to half and half]
And of all the things I let get away
                                     F      C
She's the one that keeps me awake at night

And I've never seen days go by so fast

A little more sand falling through the glass
        F                        C
She was hot as July, sweet as sunshine
G
Oh, she could've been mine
    F
But we ran out of summertime
