Songs About Me - Trace Adkins


This sounds best playing the chorus with power or barre chords.

I'm not 100% certain on the G/Bb, if anyone has any suggestions 
let me know.


G                  G/E
I met a guy on the red eye
   G/Bb                        F
He spotted my guitar and said what do you do?
        G            G/E
I said, I sing for a living,
        G/Bb                       F
Country music mixed with a little rock and a little blues
        G                   G/E
He said I'm sorry but I've never been crazy 
           G/Bb                 F
'bout that twang and trains and hillbilly thing
G                          G/E
What ever made you want to sing stuff like that?
        G/Bb              F
I just looked at him and laughed and said


Chorus:
            G          F   C
Cause it's songs about me
     G    F   C
And who I am
             G          F      
Songs about loving and living 
     C                      G          F   C
And good hearted women and family and God
                       G           F  C
Yeah they're all just songs about me
G           F  C     D (1st & 3rd chorus)
Songs about me


G                 G/E
So I offered him tickets
              G/Bb                    F
I said you'll see what I mean if you show up tonight
        G                         G/E
He said I doubt you'll change my opinion
     G/Bb                  F
I'll be kind of busy, but hey man, I'll try
G                      G/E
Then later on when we finished our songs
       G/Bb               F
About scars and cars and broken hearts, I saw him
G                           G/E
He was standing there right next to the stage, and he shouted 
G/Bb                       F         
Man you were right it was like you sang those


CHORUS


   Bb
So I'll just keep on singing
        D
'til I hear the whole world singing "those are....

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I couldn't figure this out, and couldn' find it anywhere. Great song and great tab. -speed2345 \| 2/7/2005
Shantel...this is just awesome! Did you see Trace get jobbed at the Orange Bowl Halftime show? His Mic went dead. Looked like a Shure Beta 58a or something close. Very reliable piece. I felt terrible for the guy. Maybe somebody did it to keep the next act silent....Ash Simpson? Anyhow, song sounds great. This one might get real real big going into the summer. Keep smilin', this is your year. -jojocoontree \| 2/15/2005
Great tab -buckhunter5 \| 3/1/2005
Thanks a million for the chords. I am hoping for the tabs soons. This song is perfect for people who just can't understand why we like our type of music. Trace has had some awesome songs before but this song will surely become his trademark. -jintc \| 3/11/2005
Great tab. Your usual outstanding work. Hope you will elect to tab some of the other songs off TA's new CD. It would be wonderful if someone would tab the intro to this song. I do have two very minor modifications to suggest. I think he sings "a" redeye not "the" redeye in verse one. Additionally, at the end of the first and third chorus where you have D, I play Dsus4-D-Dsus4-D. -crcrcrcr \| 3/15/2005
Shantel, Isn't that Bb supposed to be an Eb? I know the bass line is anyway. The Bb doesn't seem to be relative to the progression. -jquinn \| 5/24/2005
Awesome job, as usual. And I agree - maybe the Bb should be an Eb (G/Eb). Also, I don't hear the Bb on "So I'll just keep on singin'. My guess was D, then Dmin7 (wild guess) on the next line. But it probably doesn't matter. Also, did anyone notice it goes to a Gmin7 (blues G7) right at the end? -good ol boy \| 5/28/2005
Would anyone have the lead for this song? I hear it almost everyday on the radio, and would love to be able to play it. The chords sound pretty sweet though. -cbass \| 6/20/2005
just guessin but does anyone else hear a G, C, Am, C or is it just me -wrl20 \| 7/5/2005
wrl20, It must be you. Shantel is a world class tabber. Her ear is as accurate as anyone on the planet. -crcrcrcr \| 7/23/2005
this is what i play for my firends who ask me why I like country! thanks alot! -Amazinggrace12 \| 10/17/2005
yeah i wish they had the leads too man this is an awesome song though -assasin6660 \| 2/5/2006
