Southbound Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[C][G]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
I've [G]been here a month or more,
stuck in this old city.
The people that have to call it home
they're the ones I pity,
Lord, I'm [C]homesick.

[Verse 2]
And [C]the blues are the only
songs I ever [G]seem to pick.

[Verse 3]
[D]I get out and walk the street
'til I [C]get blisters on my feet.
I'm [G]southbound.

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 4]
I'm [G]all right 'til late at night
I'm sitting by my window,
Counting sheep but I couldn't sleep
for listening to that train blow

[Verse 5]
I be[C]gin to pine
When I hear that big old engine
rolling [G]down the line

[Verse 6]
[D]I'm going back to spend some time where
[C]I can have fun if I ain't got a dime,

[Verse 7]
I'm [G]southbound.

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][G]
[D][C][G]

[Verse 8]
[G]Southbound! She's burnin' the ground
and I don't mean maybe
Sure I'm glad I caught this train cos
I'd like to see my baby

[Verse 9]
I've been [C]lonesome

[Verse 10]
I [C]long to see them hills that [G]I come from

[Verse 11]
[D]Listen to the engine rattle and roar
She's [C]taking me back
home once more!

[Verse 12]
I'm [G]southbound

[Outro 1]
[G][C][G]
[D][C][G]
