Subject: TAB: Too Much Sugar For A Dime by Merle Travis
This is one of my favorite Merle Travis songs and guitar riffs. The
version I transcribed below is from the video "Merle Travis - Rare
Performances"
put out by Rounder (Vestapol 13012). I highly recommend it for
fingerpickin'
guitar fans. So get your guitar out of DADGAD tuning and give it a whirl!
The bass rhythm is in quarter notes and the melody in eigths for the most
part, the tab bar lines are actually every 2 measures.
PS -- this song (Texts of songs ) is also performed on the Merle Travis tribute CD
"Saturday Night Shuffle" (Shanachie 6006), and performed by his son
Thom Bresh (also pretty close to what I transcribed I think).
PPS -- if someone knows what they say near the end ("??? might refuse")
I'd
appreciate telling me. Also, if there's any interest I'll transcribe
Travis'
solo break in the middle.
You've got too much sugar for a dime (I've got barrels of that stuff)
Yak yak yak all the time (Yak along Travis, that's me)
Now if you could sing like Gordon McRae, King Cole, or Mel Torme
May I would come down off the shelf (I'm a Tex Ritter man myself)
Too much candy for the cost (well I have it girl)
So do me a favor (what's that?) get lost!
(Well I guess I'll give the devil his due!)
No no ???? [patrillo?] might refuse
That's too much sugar for a dime!
(ad lib, "This dime ain't no good anyway,
it's got a picture of _your favorite here :-)_ on it")
Well turn it over, cause there's a picture of you on the other side!
That's too much sugar for a dime!
