Band: Rednex
Album: Sex & Violins 1995
Song: Nowhere In Idaho
Standart tuning.

PLEASE NOTE
1) These chords might not sound perfectly (and I’m pretty sure they’re not, for this is
my first tab here).
2) Secondly, there are two G chords with a little difference between them, so I shall
call them G and G.
That’s what they look like:
G: 320033 (with D note on the 2nd string) and
G: 320003 (with B note on the 2nd string).
Any Gm chords are optional, they are not present in the song, but I think they are
making this composition more dramatic.
3) Every time you see “Fill” in the verses, play “Fill Section” tabbed below.
Again, tabs may have differences with original sound, I’m not a musician :(.
4) Enjoy!

VERSE 1
I was working at the railroad
D FILL
On the train to Arkansas.
Last summer I met a girl,
D FILL
She came from nowhere in Idaho.

CHORUS:
I can’t get, no, no, no
I just can’t get
G D FILL
Her out of my mind.

Can’t forget, no, no, no
Those bedroom eyes
Gm D FILL
And that little gracious smile.

“SPEECH-VERSE” (try to mess with G and D while speaking)
Howdy, folks!
This song’s about a man and
a woman, he-he, what else?
You know one minute
everything’s going fine
The next it’s gone with the wind
but what the hey
I’ve still got my horse.

INTRO x1

VERSE 2

I was working at the railroad
D FILL
On the train to Arkansas.
Last summer I met a girl,

She came from nowhere
Gm D FILL
She came from nowhere in Idaho!

BRIDGE
Still I wonder about her name.
Guess she never told
And I never asked.
Like a southern hurricane
She took me by surprise and then
Vanished in the… in the haze

CHORUS:

I can’t get, no, no, no
I just can’t get
G D FILL
Her out of my mind.

Can’t forget, no, no, no
Those bedroom eyes
And that little gracious smile.

Can’t forget, no, no, no
Those bedroom eyes
And that little gracious smile.
