Sunday In The South Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
[G]Mill worker houses lined up in a row,
Another [C]southern Sunday morning blow
[G]Beneath the steeple
all the people have begun
Shakin' [C]hands with the man
who grips the gospel gun

[Pre-chorus 1]
While the [C]quiet prayer,
the smell of [D]dinner on the ground
Heals up the [C]morning air,
ain't nothin' [Em]sweeter a[D]round

[Chorus 1]
I can almost hear my mama pray
[G]"Oh lord forgive us when we doubt,"
Another [C]sacred Sunday in the south
[G][G][C][C]

[Verse 2]
A ragged [G]rebel flag flies high above it all
[C]Popping in the wind like an angry cannon ball
[G]The holes of history are cold and still
But they still [C]smell the powder burnin'
and they probably always will

[Pre-chorus 2]
And on the [C]old town square
under the [D]barber shop pole,
They sat me [C]up in the chair
when I was [Em]four years [D]old

[Chorus 2]
I can almost hear my papa say
[G]"Won't you hold still son,
stop squirmn' around
Another [C]southern Sundays coming down"

[Interlude 1]
[C][D][C]
[Em]I ca[D]n almost hear the old folks

[Chorus 3]
[G](say) "You'll make it big one day,
you'll leave this town,"
Some other [C]lazy Sunday
you'll come back around
[G][G][C]

[Verse 3]
I can [G]feel the evening sun go down
And all the [C]lights in the houses
one by one go out
[G]Softly in the distance nothing stirs about
And the [D]night is filled with the sound
of a whippoorwill
On a Sunday in the south

[Outro 1]
All [G]right
(Just another [C]Sunday)
Just another Sunday in the [G]south
Oh, another sacred [C]Sunday in the south
[G](Just another Sun[C]day)
How I miss those old sweet Sundays
in the [G]south
(Oh, another sacred [C]Sunday)
I can hear my mama calling in the south
[G](Just another Sun[C]day)
[Fade out]
