Subject: RE: Chord Req: Scotch and Soda correct chords-intro- From: gillymor Date: 12 Jul 22 - 12:37 PM Here are the chords from the Guitar Guy. They work pretty well for me. Scotch 'n' Soda Intro: ||: Em7/9 Gm7/9 Bb9 G7 :|| FM7 Bb9 Scotch and soda, mud in your eye, C C/B A9 F F/E F F/F# G Baby do I feel high, oh me, oh my, E7 Do I feel high. FM7 Bb9 Dry martini, jigger of gin, C C/B A9 F F/E F F/F# G Oh, what a spell you've got me in; oh my, E7 Do I feel high. Bridge: F G C Dm7 C People won't believe me, they'll think that I'm just braggin', D7 D7/9 D7 D7/9 D7 D7/9 G7 But I could feel the way I do, and still be on the wagon. FM7 Bb9 All I need is one of your smiles, C C/B A9 F F/E F F/F# G Sunshine of your eyes, oh me, oh my. C C/B A7 Do I feel higher than a kite can fly! F G C Fdim C C7 Give me lovin', baby, I feel high. Repeat Bridge: FM7 Bb9 All I need is one of your smiles, C C/B A9 F F/E F F/F# G Sunshine of your eyes, oh me, oh my, E7 A7 Do I feel higher than a kite can fly! F G G6 - G C F Fm C G CM7 Give me lovin', baby, I . . . feel high. Given Scotch and Soda and She Was too Good to Me I imagine Bob Shane could have had a pretty good career as a lounge singer, if he wanted to. |
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Scotch and Soda correct chords-intro- From: cnd Date: 12 Jul 22 - 01:02 PM Here's the source Wikipedia gives: lazyka.com. My impression is that the blurbs below are verbatim clips from the liner notes of various releases. THE CAPITOL COLLECTORS SERIES: "Scotch And Soda" is actually from the group's first LP, "The Kingston Trio," though for some reason it was not released as a single until four years after the album came out, on April 9, 1962. The song has a history all its own: In 1954 Bob Shane and Dave Guard went to Fresno for Easter to Visit Dave's girlfriend, Katie Seaver. Katie turned out not to be at home, but her parents and 11-year-old brother entertained the boys. Mrs. Seaver played piano while her husband sang a song from their honeymoon in 1934. Four years later, Dave revised the tune for the Trio, and Bob sang it. It was subsequently covered by The Manhattan Transfer on their 1976 album, Coming Out. (And Katie's little brother grew up to be baseball great Tom Seaver.) THE CAPITOL YEARS set: Master #18389A added to the Capitol archives December 14, 1958 Previously unreleased Now considered the ultimate saloon song, "Scotch And Soda" was already an oldie when Dave and Bob first heard it In 1953. They were on a pre-Trio double date and Dave's dates parents {whose most famous offspring became baseball great Tom Seaver) played them a memorable song they'd heard at a hotel piano lounge on their honeymoon. When the time came to record the Trio's first album, Dave worked up an arrangement for Bob's solo. After nearly five years of pleas from DJs, Capitol released "Scotch and Soda" as a single In 1962. The version Included here is the earliest known live recording of the song, another previously unreleased selection from the STEREO CONCERT tapes. Today "Scotch And Soda" is still Bob's favorite Trio tune and the identity of the original composer still remains a mystery. THE KINGSTON TRIO: THEIR GREATEST HITS AND FINEST PERFORMANCES Rarely did a Trio member have a whole solo, but this memorable ballad spotlights Bob Shane's grainy voice. "Scotch and Soda," written by Trio member Dave Guard, came from their first LP, The Kingston Trio (1958), but Capitol waited four years to release it as a single. Although it climbed no higher than No. 81, the song has always been a big favorite of Trio fans, including The Manhattan Transfer, who sang it on their 1976 LP Coming Out. © 1994 The Reader's Digest Association, Inc. © 1994 The Reader's Digest Association (Canada) Ltd. © 1994 Reader's Digest Association Far East Ltd.
