Southern Sun Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
In [A]all you'll see
What was it that
[F]came down on me that night
[A]A conjuring, I held on to that mom[F]ent
and lie just to make it alive
[F][F][Am]
[F][F][Am]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[F]I stood out there in the covering
In the baskings of a holy night
[G]And I was lucid and conscious
And hovering like a firefly
[F]My mind stretched out on the canopy
It put its arms out slow
[G]And I heard the whispers of silence
floating down from the radio

[Chorus 1]
So [F]come on, come on, I'm ready now
I got the feeling honey
like I'm ready to [G]roll
You see [F]I'm not gonna wait till the end of me
‘Cos I got the burning fire
in the bed of my [G]soul

[Verse 2]
[F]I saw the light from a kettle gun
Sixteen days under a Southern Sun
[G]And there were times when I thought that
I wouldn't mind it if I lost my mind
out [F]there
You wouldn't believe me if I told you so
The things I saw were enough
to make the man in me a man [G]in me
Make a man of me

[Chorus 2]
So [F]come on, come on, I'm ready now
Go get your things out honey,
let's get ready to [G]roll
Oh [F]I can feel the wave coming over me
I've been waiting for this day too long
just to let it all [G]go

[Bridge 1]
[F]As a child I was wonder eyed
[Am]at the thought that I might know
[F]A life in the ecstasy of Rock 'n' Rol[C]l
Oh- [G]whoa, I'm not taking it [F]slow
I'm an arrow in a bow
You think that I don't [G]know
What it is that makes it glow

[Chorus 3]
So [F]come on, come on, I'm ready now
I got the feeling honey
like I'm ready to [G]roll
You see [F]I'm not gonna wait till the end of me
‘Cos I got the burning fire
in the bed of my [G]soul

[Outro 1]
[F][F][F][F]
[G][G][G][G]
[Repeat and fade]
