A Little Bit South of Saskatoon Tabs & Lyrics by Sonny James
A Little Bit South of Saskatoon
guitar tabs lyrics
Here's a cool little tune that I first heard in the classic hockey movie "Slapshot". I
included he basic chord structure of the song as well as the full tab with chord
condensed to one guitar part. I have tried to make timing as obvious as possible; all
are eighth notes:
A Little Bit South of Saskatoon
Written by: Sonny James (1975)
Transcribed by: David Podradchik (2007)
This is used for the intro and verse throughout the song:

Intro: A D G C (same as the rest of the song)
A D
Just a little bit south of Saskatoon
G C
Pick my guitar for board and room
A D
Met a little girl, her name was June
G C
A little bit south of Saskatoon
A D
Me and Junny-Mae we got on fine
G C
Till I had to move further down the line
A D
Promised that girl I'd be back soon
G C
A little bit south of Saskatoon
A D
Went up to Nome to see the sights
G C
Had a yen to watch the northern lights
A D
But I had my mind on my sweet June
G C
A little bit south of Saskatoon
A D
So I caught a freight and headed back
G C
Following down that railroad track
A D
Kept a thinkin' of my honeymoon
G C
A little bit south of Saskatoon
A D
Me and Junny-Mae got a little house
G C
Got a piece of ground and a few milk cows
A D
We're gonna get a youngin' soon
G C
A little bit south of Saskatoon
A D
In the winter time when we can't farm
G C
Me and Junny-Mae sit arm in arm
A D
By a big ole fire and honeymoon
G C
A little bit south of Saskatoon
