Southern Boys

G

[Verse 1]
                  F7              Eb7  Ab
Southern boys are warm and lovely
                                              Ab7             G7
They speak gently of their homes and show you pictures of the folks
                               F7                 Eb7  Ab
Their breath in your ear is as soft as the cotton
                          Fm             Eb     D7     G
Whether they’re wooing or whispering the latest racist joke


[Chorus]
      C                    G7
I get knocked right off my feet
       C                  G7
When I hear that Southern drawl
     C          G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh,  ooh
     C          G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh,  ooh
    Am               E7
And I don’t mind the pain
           Am                  C      D7   G
‘Cause the feeling’s worth the fall


[Verse 2]
                  F7                 Eb7  Ab
Buttered grits is fare for breakfast
                                     Ab7      G7
And if you like and your aim is good, maybe a squirrel
                     F7                  Eb7  Ab
Then around nine, we pass that moonshine
                                   Fm        Eb         D7               G
And it’s on out to the porch for a moonlight swing with me your Northern girl


[Chorus]
      C                    G7
I get knocked right off my feet
       C                  G7
When I hear that Southern drawl
     C          G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh,  ooh
     C          G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh,  ooh
    Am               E7
And I don’t mind the pain
           Am                  C      D7
‘Cause the feeling’s worth the fall


[Verse 3]
         G         F7                      Eb7  Ab
Were you born? Oh, where do you come from?
                                     Ab7        G7
Is your tropic in Cancer and is your sun sign divine?
                    F7                   Eb7  Ab
Oh, let it out, oh, please don’t hide it
                        Fm     Eb       D7          G
All that good ol’ stuff down below that Mason-Dixon Line


[Chorus]
      C                    G7
I get knocked right off my feet
       C                  G7
When I hear that Southern drawl
    Am               E7
And I don’t mind the pain
           Am                  C      G7
‘Cause the feeling’s worth the fall
     C          G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh,  ooh
     C          G7
Ooh, ooh, ooh,  ooh
    Am                E7
And don’t extend your hand
         Am               C
‘Cause I couldn’t move at all
