Key: :[D#] (w: Allen Toussaint)
INTRO: [D#]
VERSE 1:
[D#] Southern nights;
[C7] have you ever felt a
[F7] southern night
[F7]
[G#] Free as a breeze, not to
[G#] mention the trees
Whistling
[Gm] tunes that you knew, and loved
[A#7] so
VERSE 2:
[D#] Southern nights;
[C7] just as good even when,
[F7] closed your eyes
[F7]
I a-
[G#]-pologise
[G#], to any-
[Gm]-one who can truely say
That he has
[A#7] found a better way, hey
BREAK: [D#]
VERSE 3:
[D#] Southern skies;
[C7] have you ever noticed,
[F7] southern skies
[F7]
Well
[G#] it's precious beauty lies,
[G#] just beyond the eye
It goes
[Gm] running through your soul, like the
[A#7] stories of old
VERSE 4:
[D#] Old man;
[C7] he and his dog that walk the,
[F7] old land
[F7]
Every
[G#] flower touched
[G#] his cold hand
As he
[Gm] slowly walked by weeping
[A#7] willows
[A#7] Would cry for you,
[D#] joy,
[D#] joy
VERSE 5:
[D#] Feels so good;
[C7] feels so good it's frightening
[F7] Wish I could,
[F7] stop this world from fighting
[G#] La da da da, da da
[G#] da-da da da
Da-da-da
[Gm] da da da da, da da
[A#7] da
VERSE 6:
[D#] Mystery,
[C7] like this and many others
[F7] in the trees
[F7]
[G#] Blow in the night, in the
[A#7] southern skies
BREAK: [D#]
VERSE 7:
[D#] Southern nights;
[C7] they feel so good, it's frightening
[F7] Wish I could,
[F7] stop this world from fighting
[G#] La da da da, da da
[G#] da-da da da
Da-da-da
[Gm] da da da da, da da
[A#7] da
