Boys From The South


This is my favorite song both to listen to and play on the Guitar! Boys From the South No Capo Intro (x4) D,G D Maybe he's in Texas, maybe this town G Maybe Oklahoma plowin' up some ground D Southern Carolina, somewhere on the coast, G Em Maybe Alabama drivin' thru Montgomery right now. G D G There's somethin' 'bout a boy from the South. D,G D Maybe he's in Florida, somewhere in the pines, G Maybe on the delta throwin' out a line, D Maybe he's in Georgia, starin' at the stars, G Em Maybe Tennessee pickin' on a guitar right now. G D G There's somethin' 'bout a boy from the south. D,G G Yea, the first time I felt it I was only 16, D And he kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree. G Said "Goodnight darlin'," with a sweet southern drawl. Em G Man, I think I might just have to love them all – D G My boys from the South. D,G D Maybe in Kentucky, workin' in the mine. G Maybe down in Little Rock, just to pass the time. D Maybe he's somewhere in New Orleans, G Em Livin' it up in the Big Easy right now. G D G There's somethin' 'bout a boy from the South. D,G G Yea, the first time I felt it I was only 16, D And he kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree. G Said "Goodnight darlin'," with a sweet southern drawl. Em G Man, I think I might just have to love them all – D G My boys from the South. D G Maybe he's in Texas, maybe this town. D G My boys from the South. D,G (x4) For anyone who is skipping the intro and end and just playing with the lyrics: At the end of the song I like to do one E chord just for a finished feel.
