Southern States

G

[Verse 1]
G
I have seen the moonlight
       C               D
On the shoulder of the midnight road
D
On the county fire
G
I've been running for hours
       C                 D
Now my feet are broke, I haven't spoke
D
I gotta mind to pray...

[Chorus]
G                 D
For the people in Southern states
Am                  Em
For to keep it underground
G                    D
For your secrets you know I've got a yearning
Am              C
From my head on down

C

G               D
For the autumn around the bend
Am               Em
For to carry overseas
G                  D
For the person you know I've been searching for
Am          C
In the city streets

C

[Verse 2]
G
And I could hear the landslide
         C                D
When you asked to stay, I drove you away
D
To the outer bank
G
Since I've been counting the treetops
       C                    D
Listen all the day for your wheels to say
D
How could I be so wrong?

[Interlude]

G  G  C  D

[Chorus]
G                 D
For the people in Southern states
Am                  Em
For to keep it underground
G                    D
For your secrets you know I've got a yearning
Am              C
From my head on down

C

G               D
For the autumn around the bend
Am               Em
For to carry overseas
G                  D
For the person you know I've been searching for
Am          C
In the city streets
