SUGARLAND

CAPO 2

 

Intro:  C-F-C-F

 

C                   F
Warm breeze blowin, long dirt road

C                          F
First time that I saw him, such a long time ago

      Dm               F                      Dm
I was sixteen goin’ on seventeen, blue bonnet Texas queen

                      F          G
Fell in love with the rodeo king

        C         F-C-F
Down in Sugarland
C                F
Drive-in movies, hot summer nights

C                                      F

First time that I kissed him, made the world seem right

      Dm                               F
I was city bound, couldn’t wait to get outta this town

              Dm                                      F              G     
Suddenly everything just changed, something told me I just might stay

        C
Down in Sugarland
        F                         C
Down in Sugarland we’re doing the best we can

                      F            
Holdin’ hands staying up all night,

                    C

Swingin’ stars from satellites

        F                   Dm
Down in Sugarland doing the best we can

               F          G       C        F-C-F
I’m fallin’ in love again down in Sugarland

Corn fields swayin’, clothes on the line
Tumbleweed is a turnin’ like the hands of time
When I was 16 goin’ on seventeen, didn’t know much of anything
Livin’ the American dream
Down in Sugarland
Down in Sugarland we’re doing the best we can
Holdin’ hands staying up all night, swingin’ stars from satellites
Down in Sugarland doing the best we can

                                  C
I’m fallin’ in love again down in Sugarland

Bridge

      Dm                               F                        Dm

And I see the small town smile in your eyes (See it in your eyes)

                                     F               Dm         F
Shining like a diamond in the sky (shining like) the sweet skies
          Dm         F-Dm-F-Dm-F-G

Under the sweet skies

 

The sweet skies of Sugarland, doing the best we can
Holdin’ hands staying up all night, swingin’ stars from satellites
Down in Sugarland doing the best we can
I’m fallin’ in love again
Down in Sugarland
