About
I write beach country from the Gulf Coast of Florida — songs about long weekends, salt air, small towns and the people you keep coming back to. Sarasota is home, and it shows up in almost everything.
Everything here is free to play. If a song of mine ends up round a fire pit or on a back porch somewhere, that is the whole point.
Who is David Alan Graham?
David Alan Graham is a beach country singer-songwriter based in Sarasota, Florida. He writes and releases songs about long weekends, salt air, small Gulf Coast towns and the people you keep coming back to, and publishes free chord charts, guitar tab and sheet music for the whole catalogue.
What is beach country music?
Beach country is country music written from the coast rather than the back roads — the same storytelling and the same instruments, but traded pickup trucks and dirt for salt air, sunburn, tide charts and the off-season. Think Gulf Coast rather than Nashville. There is a longer answer, including who started it, on the beach country page.
Where can I listen?
Every song is on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and Pandora. There is also Beach Country Radio, a 24/7 station playing the full catalogue, at davidalangraham.net/radio.
Are the chord charts really free?
Yes. Every chord chart, guitar tab, lead sheet and MIDI file on this site is free to download, print and play, with no account and no email required. If a song of mine ends up round a fire pit or on a back porch somewhere, that is the whole point.
Can I play these songs live, or use one in a video?
Playing them live is welcome and needs no permission from me. For sync licensing — a song in a video, film or advert — get in touch at [email protected] and we will sort it out.
