[Intro 1]
[C][Am][F][C]
[C][Am][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]I was up in [Am]New York City
[F]just the other [C]week
You should've [Am]seen the waitress's face
when I [F]ordered sweet [C]tea
She said we [Am]don't have that here
and [F]I apolog[C]ized
I said please [Am]for give me
I'm in a [F]southern [G]state of [C]mind

[Verse 2]
[C]And those girls out[Am] in California
[F]they don't unders[C]tand
They don't like it [Am]when I hold the door
or when [F]I say yes m[C]a'am
They act like [Am]I done something wrong
and they [F]give me the evil [C]eye
I say honey [Am]I'm sorry
I'm in a [F]southern [G]state of [C]mind

[Chorus 1]
I could be [F]any[C]where
In my heart I'm [G]always [Am]there
Where they [F]drink sweet tea
and they [C]raise you to be po[G]lite
No changing' [F]who I [C]am
That's the way I've [G]always [Am]been
No [G]matter what [F]state I'm [C]in
I'm in a [G]southern state [C]of mind
[C][Am][F][C]

[Verse 3]
[C]I'm alway[Am]s walking' round
telling' [F]everybody [C]hi
Just a wavin' [Am]at the strangers
in the [F]cars passing' [C]by
Some people [Am]may look at me
and say [F]"that boy just [C]ain't right"
Hey y'all I [Am]ain't crazy
I'm in a [F]southern [G]state of [C]mind

[Chorus 2]
I could be [F]any[C]where
In my heart I'm [G]always [Am]there
Where you [F]know everybody
and if you [C]don't then you're still po[G]lite
No changing' [F]who I [C]am
That's the way I've [G]always [Am]been
No [G]matter what [F]state I'm [C]in
I'm in a [G]southern state of mind

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][Dm][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]You can see it in [Am]the clothes I wear,
you can [F]hear it when I [C]talk
Ball cap, [Am]boots and jeans
and a [F]little southern [C]drawl
I could be [Am]up in Ohio or back ho[F]me in Caroli[C]ne
No matter [Am]what state I'm in
I'm in a [F]southern [G]state of [C]mind
Don't [G]matter what [Am]state I'm [G]in
I'm in a [F]southern state of mind

[Outro 1]
[C]Yea[Am]h, Al[F]l righ[C]t
[C][Am][F][C]
A southern state of [C]mind
[Am]Come on, come on, [F]oh[C]
[C][G][Am][G]
[F][G][C]
