VERSE 1:
[D] Southern nights;
[B7] have you ever felt a

[E7]
[G] Free as a breeze, not to

Whistling
[F#m] tunes that you knew, and loved
[A7] so
VERSE 2:
[D] Southern nights;
[B7] just as good even when,
[E7] closed your eyes
[E7]

That he has
[A7] found a better way, hey

[D] Southern skies;
[B7] have you ever noticed,
[E7] southern skies

Well
[G] it's precious beauty lies,
[G] just beyond the eye
It goes
[F#m] running through your soul, like the
[A7] stories of old
VERSE 4:
[D] Old man;
[B7] he and his dog that walk the,
[E7] old land
[E7]
Every
[G] flower touched
[G] his cold hand
As he
[F#m] slowly walked by weeping
[A7] willows
[A7] Would cry for you,
[D] joy,
[D] joy
VERSE 5:
[D] Feels so good;
[B7] feels so good it's frightening
[E7] Wish I could,
[E7] stop this world from fighting

Da-da-da
[F#m] da da da da, da da
[A7] da
VERSE 6:
[D] Mystery,
[B7] like this and many others
[E7] in the trees
[E7]
[G] Blow in the night, in the
[A7] southern skies
BREAK: [D]
VERSE 7:
