Southland In The Springtime

G F C D G F C D G Maybe we'll make F Texas by the C morning D Light the G bayou with our F taillights in the C night D Eight Em hundred miles to El C Paso from the G state line And we F never have the C money for theAm7 flight D7 I'm in the G back seat F sleepy from the C travel D Played our G hearts out all night F long in New C Orleans D I'm Em dirty from the C diesel fuel, G drinking coffee C black When the G first breath of Am7 Texas comes in D7 clean And there's G something about the southland in the C springtime Where the G waters flow with B7 confidence and Em reason C Though I G miss her when I'm A gone, it won't G ever be too long Till I'm Am7 home again to G spend my favorite C season D When god Am7 made me born a G yankee he was C teasing D There's no Em7 place like home and G none more C pleasing than the D southland in the spring G time C F D C G In G Georgia, F nights are softer C than a D whisper Beneath a G quilt somebody's F mother C made by D hand With the Em farmland like a C tapestry passed down G through C generations And the F peach trees C stitched Am7 across the D7 land There'll be G cider F up near Helen C off the D roadside And warm G peanuts in a F bag to C warm your D fingers And the Em smoke from the C chimneys meets its G maker in the C sky With a F song that winter C wrote whose Am7 melody D7 lingers And there's G something about the southland in the C springtime Where the G waters flow with B7 confidence and Em reason C Though I G miss her when I'm A gone, it won't G ever be too long Till I'm Am7 home again to G spend my favorite C season D When god Am7 made me born a G yankee he was C teasing D There's no Em7 place like home and G none more C pleasing than the D southland in the spring G time C F D C G
