Biography:
The Nixons were founded in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by singer/guitarist Zac Maloy, guitarist Jesse Davis, bassist Ricky Brooks, and drummer Tye Robison. The group released their debut EP Six in 1992 (after a obscure self-titled album, probably released in 1990) on Dragon Street Records and replaced the original drummer with John Humphrey before releasing Halo in 1994 on Rainmaker label. This album features several songs also included in Foma, their first official full length record, released out in 1995 on MCA Records.

HAPPY SONG - The Nixons
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: david0518
Tuning: 1/2 step down (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, Eb)
I recently learned the Nixons re-formed and were playing a couple gigs in Dallas.
As good of an excuse as any to post a couple of their songs here.
This one is relatively straightforward.

I would fly away

I would fly to heaven

Tip toe in the back
E F# A B

I could smile this way
E F# A B
I could smile forever
E F# A B
Vision in my mind
E F# A B
A place that has no time
[Chorus]
