SOUTHLAND IN THE SPRINGTIME (Emily Saliers)
(Actually in A, so capo at the 2nd fret.)
(Each chord is one measure, except chords joined by hyphens are one
measure _total_.)
[G](int[F/G]ro)[C(9)][D][G][F/G][C(9)][D]
[G]Maybe we'll make T[F/G]exas by the m[C(9)]orning[D]
Light the b[G]ayou with our ta[F/G]illights in the ni[C(9)]ght[D]
Eight h[Em]undred miles to El [C]Paso from the st[G]ate[-] li[Gsus]ne[G]
And we [F(9)]never have the [C]money for the fl[Am7]ight[D7]
VERSE 2:
I'm in the b[G]ack seat sle[F/G]epy from the tr[C(9)]avel[D]
Played our he[G]arts out all night l[F/G]ong in New Orlean[C(9)]s[D]
I'm d[Em]irty from the di[C]esel fuel, dr[G]inki[-]ng c[Gs]offee bl[C/G]ack
When the [G]first breath of T[Am7]exas comes in cl[D7sus]ean[D7]
CHORUS:
And there's [G]something about the [G]southland in the spr[C]ingtime[C]
Where the [G]waters flow with c[B7]onfidence and r[Em]eason[C]
Though I [G]miss her when I'm g[Gsus/A]one, it won't [G/B]ever be too l[Gsus/C]ong
Till I'm [Am7]home again to sp[G/B]end my favorite s[C]eason[D]
When god m[Am7]ade me born a y[G/B]ankee he was te[C]asing[D]
There's no pl[Em7]ace like home and n[G/B]one more plea[C]sing than the [D]southland
in the spring[G]time[C/G][C][F/C][-][C][D][C][G][-][Gsus][G]
In Georgia, nights are softer than a whisper
Beneath a quilt somebody's mother made by hand
With the farmland like a tapestry passed down through generations
And the peach trees stitched across the land
There'll be cider up near Helen off the roadside
And warm peanuts in a bag to warm your fingers
And the smoke from the chimneys meets its maker in the sky
With a song that winter wrote whose melody lingers
(Repeat chorus, end on last G.)
INTRO TAB:
[G] [F(9)/G] [C] [D]
