VERSE 1:
[A#] Southern nights;
[G7] have you ever felt a

Whistling
[Dm] tunes that you knew, and loved
[F7] so

[A#] Southern nights;
[G7] just as good even when,
[C7] closed your eyes

[G7] have you ever noticed,

It goes
[Dm] running through your soul, like the
[F7] stories of old
VERSE 4:
[A#] Old man;
[G7] he and his dog that walk the,
[C7] old land
[C7]
Every
[D#] flower touched
[D#] his cold hand
As he
[Dm] slowly walked by weeping
[F7] willows
[F7] Would cry for you,
[A#] joy,
[A#] joy
VERSE 5:
[A#] Feels so good;
[G7] feels so good it's frightening
[C7] Wish I could,
[C7] stop this world from fighting

Da-da-da
[Dm] da da da da, da da
[F7] da
VERSE 6:
[A#] Mystery,
[G7] like this and many others
[C7] in the trees
[C7]
[D#] Blow in the night, in the
[F7] southern skies
BREAK: [A#]

[C7] Wish I could,
[C7] stop this world from fighting
[D#] La da da da, da da

Da-da-da
[Dm] da da da da, da da
[F7] da
