INTRO: [C#]
VERSE 1:
[C#] Southern nights;
[A#7] have you ever felt a
[D#7] southern night
[D#7]
[F#] Free as a breeze, not to
[F#] mention the trees
Whistling
[Fm] tunes that you knew, and loved
[G#7] so
VERSE 2:
[C#] Southern nights;
[A#7] just as good even when,
[D#7] closed your eyes
[D#7]

[Fm]-one who can truely say
That he has
[G#7] found a better way, hey

[C#] Southern skies;
[A#7] have you ever noticed,
[D#7] southern skies
[D#7]
Well

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