Third Coast Tonight
G♯ minor~152 BPM4/44:22Stadium Countryhigh confidence
Capo 1 — play the shapes in G and it sounds in G♯ minor. Much easier than fingering G♯ minor straight.
Intro
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Verse 1
Atlantic side talks like they invented summer
West Coast side acts like they got the only ocean
But east of California, south of where the country goes
There's a stretch of sand the rest don't even know
We got palmettos hummin' and sugar-white sand
We got Spanish moss hangin' on every other branch
We got salt-stained boots and sun-warmed beer
We got a whole damn coast nobody talks about — right here
Pre-Chorus
So if you wanna find the real ones, throw your map out
Let the Gulf wind tell you what we're all about
Chorus
Third coast, third coast tonight
Salt and surf and sodium lights
You won't find this on no map
But I swear it's where the real ones at
Third coast, third coast tonight
Where the sunset stays a little too long
Where the locals know every word of every song
Third coast, third coast tonight
Verse 2
I-75 to a county dirt road
Saltwater on the bumper, sand inside the door
We don't run for the city when the weekend hits
We run TO the water 'cause it's where we fit
Tourists snap pictures of our backyard pride
Go home tellin' stories of the Sarasota tide
But for us it's just Tuesday — to them it's a dream
Yeah we live where the rest of the world wants to be
Pre-Chorus
So when they ask where we're from, we just smile and say
You wouldn't get it 'less you come our way
Chorus
Third coast, third coast tonight
Salt and surf and sodium lights
You won't find this on no map
But I swear it's where the real ones at
Third coast, third coast tonight
Where the sunset stays a little too long
Where the locals know every word of every song
Third coast, third coast tonight
Bridge
This is for every salt-life soul
Every barefoot kid and every Gulf-coast doll
Every shrimp boat captain, every back-road bum
Every gas-station angel who said "this is the one"
Raise it up, raise it up!
Raise it up, raise it up!
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Final Chorus
Third coast, third coast tonight
Salt and surf and sodium lights
You won't find this on no map
But I swear it's where the real ones at
Third coast, third coast tonight
Where the sunset stays a little too long
Where the locals know every word of every song
Third coast, third coast tonight
Outro
Whoa-oh, third coast
Whoa-oh, third coast
Whoa-oh, third coast
Third coast tonight!

Generated from the chord chart. These are real guitar shapes for the chords we detected, not a transcription of what was played on the record.
Raw note map (experimental)
This is the unfiltered pitch detection across the whole mix — vocals, bass and drums included — mapped onto a fretboard. It is not a playable arrangement and no one should try to read it as one. It is here only because it is the raw material everything else was built from.
Download note mapA lead sheet, not a full score. The melody line has been reduced automatically from the recording and paired with the detected chords. Expect the shape of the tune to be right and the details to be approximate.
