Band: Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans Label: Stony Plain Records Written and Performed By: Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans I believe this is actually the first song I ever heard from Corb, it got me hooked right away! He's been known to play this song with a capo, but the studio version actually doesn't have one.The song is mostly just a switch between C and G with many dynamic changes, but it's a pretty easy and fun song. I tried tabbing out the solo, I'm not sure how close it is to being correct, but I'm up for corrections! Please rate, comment, and enjoy!! Chords: C: 332010 G: 320033 C C I'm gonna shine up my boots G I'm gonna go into town I'm gonna scr*pe up twenty dollars C I'm gonna throw it around I'm gonna buy me a dance G First lovely lady that I see And when our dance is through C I'll say "Will you marry me?" C I'm gonna shine up my boots G I'm gonna go into town I'm gonna scr*pe up twenty dollars C I'm gonna throw it around I'm gonna find me a game G Of hold 'em if I can And fold 'em all night long C Till I got me a hand C I'm gonna buy us a ranch G With a palomino herd And I won't mean no harm, babe C And I won't say a word When Misery comes to call G I'll give to him my life I'll set with him awhile C And share my horse, my home, my wife Guitar Solo: e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-5-7-8-9-9-9-10-9-9-9/12-12-11p10-10--10h11-12-12-11p10-10-10-10-10-9-9-97-5-| D|-----9------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Fiddle kicks in for a bit and there is a bit of the C and G variation playing, then this is played quietly during the ending of the fiddle part: e|----------------------------| B|----------------------------| G|-0-2-3-4----4-5-6-7----7/9--| D|----------------------------| A|----------------------------| E|----------------------------| C I'm gonna shine up my boots G I'm gonna go into town I'm gonna scr*pe up twenty dollars C I'm gonna throw it around I'm gonna buy me a dance G First lovely lady that I see And when our dance is through C I'll say "Will you marry me?"
