INTRO: [F]
VERSE 1:
[F] Southern nights;
[D7] have you ever felt a

[G7]
[A#] Free as a breeze, not to
[A#] mention the trees
Whistling
[Am] tunes that you knew, and loved
[C7] so
VERSE 2:
[F] Southern nights;
[D7] just as good even when,
[G7] closed your eyes
[G7]

That he has
[C7] found a better way, hey

[F] Southern skies;
[D7] have you ever noticed,
[G7] southern skies
[G7]
Well
[A#] it's precious beauty lies,
[A#] just beyond the eye
It goes
[Am] running through your soul, like the
[C7] stories of old
VERSE 4:
[F] Old man;
[D7] he and his dog that walk the,
[G7] old land
[G7]
Every
[A#] flower touched
[A#] his cold hand
As he
[Am] slowly walked by weeping
[C7] willows
[C7] Would cry for you,
[F] joy,
[F] joy
VERSE 5:
[F] Feels so good;
[D7] feels so good it's frightening
[G7] Wish I could,
[G7] stop this world from fighting
[A#] La da da da, da da
[A#] da-da da da
Da-da-da
[Am] da da da da, da da
[C7] da
VERSE 6:
[F] Mystery,
[D7] like this and many others
[G7] in the trees
[G7]
[A#] Blow in the night, in the
[C7] southern skies
BREAK: [F]
VERSE 7:
[F] Southern nights;
[D7] they feel so good, it's frightening
[G7] Wish I could,
[G7] stop this world from fighting
[A#] La da da da, da da
[A#] da-da da da
Da-da-da
[Am] da da da da, da da
[C7] da
