Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Southern nights
Have you ever felt a [D]southern night?
[F]Free as a breeze
Not to mention the trees
[Em]Whistling tunes that you [G]know and love so
[C][C]

[Verse 2]
[C]Southern [A]skies
Just as good even when [D]closed your eyes
I a[F]pologize
To any[Em]one who can truly say
That he has [G]found a better way
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 3]
[C]Feel so good
[A]
Feel so good, it's frightenin'
[D]Wish I could
Stop this world from fighting
[F]La da da [Em]...[G]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 4]
[C]Southern [A]skies
Have you ever noticed [D]southern skies?
Its precious [F]beauty lies deep beyond the eye
Goes [Em]running through your soul
Like the [G]stories told of old
[F][C][F][C]

[Verse 5]
[C]Old man
He and his [A]dog they walked the [D]old land
Every flower touched [F]his cold hand
As he [Em]slowly walked by
The weeping [G]willow would cry for [C]joy

[Verse 6]
[C]Mysteries
[A]Like this and many others in [D]the trees
[F]Blow in the night
[G]In the southern ski[C]es

[Outro 1]
[C]La da [A]da...[D][D]
[F][G][C][C]
[Fade out]
