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 F/G C(9) D G F/G C(9) D
[intro]
G F/G C(9) D
Maybe we'll make Texas by the morning
G F/G C(9) D
Light the bayou with our taillights in the night
Em C G - Gsus G
Eight hundred miles to El Paso from the state line
F(9) C Am7 D7
And we never have the money for the flight
VERSE 2:
G F/G C(9) D
I'm in the back seat sleepy from the travel
G F/G C(9) D
Played our hearts out all night long in New Orleans
Em C G - Gs C/G
I'm dirty from the diesel fuel, drinking coffee black
G Am7 D7sus D7
When the first breath of Texas comes in clean
CHORUS:
G G C C
And there's something about the southland in the springtime
G B7 Em C
Where the waters flow with confidence and reason
G Gsus/A G/B Gsus/C
Though I miss her when I'm gone, it won't ever be too long
Am7 G/B C D
Till I'm home again to spend my favorite season
Am7 G/B C D
When god made me born a yankee he was teasing
Em7 G/B C D
There's no place like home and none more pleasing than the southland
G C/G C F/C - C D C G - Gsus G
in the springtime
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.]
