I'm trying to find the chords for Lindsey Buckingham's "Dancin' Across the USA". You know, the song from "Vacation". Any body out there able to help me out? All I seem to find on the net are the lyrics.
Thanks in advance!
Hi cavecookie,I do not have an answer,but you might try too check here at chordie in the M section,check out misc movie songs.
Thanks, dino. I didn't think to check that category. Still wasn't able to find what I'm after, so the quest continues...
Are you sure? Do you mean " Holiday Road". That is the song from the movie and it is right on chordie. Also, it`s a great song too
Hey, joey. The song I'm looking for is "Dancin' Across the USA". It was the song that played during the closing credits of the movie. You are right, though, "Holiday Road" is also a good song, but the one I'm after has a really cool swing to it.
Thanks for the response.

***Edited to add:
Here's what I got. It's in the key of A.
Chorus:
We ... (A)dancin' (D)across the (E)us(A)a (D) (E)
On ... (A)crazy ... high(E)way (Esus4)(E)
Too ... (A)passion (A7), too ... (D)play (Dm)
We went (A)dancin'(D)dancin'(E)dancin' ... (E7)us(A)a (D)(A)(E)
Verse 1:
Well ... (A)curtain...early,(D) so they (A)say (D) (A)
(A)Some ... and (E)stay (Esus4)(E)
So (A)have ... friend, (A7)Buttercup ... (D)through
You ... (E)I always (C#m)love 'em (F#m)but I (D)think ... we (E)flew
Then another chorus, then verse 2, then a final chorus, and then the outro. The outro is just the last line of the chorus repeated over and over.

Good luck with it.
Wow, that is what I call goin' above and beyond the call!!!
Thanks so much for the help, sir. Figuring out the chords to a song is one talent I wish I could master, and I stand in awe of those of you who can! Now I just gotta get it to sound good on my banjo...
Again, thanks!

You're quite welcome. As far as mastering the talent, I don't consider myself a master, but you can do it too. I've had a number of people email me and ask what the secret or trick is to finding the chords to a song. I tell them that there are no secrets or tricks, just some ear training and practice.
There are probably videos available on line (I haven't looked), but I could probably share how I do it if there is enough interest.
Well, the key here is practice. Just like everything else, if ya want to get anywhere, ya gotta pay your dues.:/
