D C x32033 G 320033 D
When I was 15 I dreamed of leaving my home
I [D]had to see the w[C]orld
And l[G]ive like a rolling st[D]one
[D] I heard [C]California was p[G]aved in g[D]old
So I [Em]hopped on that train
[G] It didn't come easy
But[Em] I keep thinkin' bout
The [Bb]green grass and [C]missing my h[D]ome
Chorus:
[D] Take me [C]back to my [G]southern w[D]ays
[D] Where I can be mys[C]elf and l[G]ive another [C]day
[D] Take me b[C]ack to my[G] southern [D]ways
Where the t[Bb]all pines blow and the s[C]outhern winds kiss my f[D]ace
Intro Riff 2x
[D] Oh southern grace [C][G][D]
[D] Me and my b[C]oys st[G]arted a [D]band
P[D]racticed every[C]day out [G]on the H[D]ell House land
[D]Played every honky t[C]onk and t[G]his ol' [D]bar
To [Em]sing about Sweet 'Bama
[G] We were just simple men
The m[Em]usic is forever
and the s[Bb]ongs will never e[C]ver end
Chorus:
[D] Take me [C]back to my [G]southern w[D]ays
[D] Where I can be mys[C]elf and l[G]ive another [C]day

Where the t[Bb]all pines blow and the s[C]outhern winds kiss my face

[D] I sit here t[C]hinkin' ab[G]out those d[D]ays
I w[D]ouldn't change a th[C]ing about my l[G]ife tod[D]ay
