Sweet Southern Moon chords by The Benjy Davis Project

Verse:
          C                              G
There's a break in the fence between the sixth and seventh tree
     C                         G
Just wide enough to fit an SU- V
          C                                G
You can't see it from the river road, it's hidden by the leaves
         Am                               D
But I'll show you if you promise that you won't say anything

        C                       G
Take it easy goin' up, spinnin' tires will get you stuck
         C                                    G
We'll be right back down at the bottom of the levee
             C                                  G
Take it even easier goin' down that grass stays muddy all year round
              C                            G
But get goin' fast at the path and keep it steady

Bridge
Am                        D
I tell my parents we were goin' to the movies, yeah
    Am                         D
The movie in the middle of the woods

Chorus
            G
And we were screamin' down the river road
Em                         Am                D
Smilin' at the fadin' city lights in my rear view
                G            F#m
Lookin' for the break in the fence
       Em        D           C                D
That a few of my friends and I took a handsaw to
       G                 B             Em    D         Am
We had all the right in- gredients for doin' something new
           G           Am
Drank some brews had a great time
                   D                     G
Marinatin' in that sweet, sweet southern moon

Instrumental:
Em      Am      D      G   F#m     Em   D     C      C

        G               Em       Am         D
She was pristine, I was fifteen, nothing to lose
            G            Em              Am              D
But my vir- ginity and I did right there under that mag- nolia tree
      G         Em          Am           D              G
And I don't re- member any- thing, I re- member how she felt
            Em            Am                   D
Lord, I re- member every- thing, I remember it oh so well

Bridge
      Am                                    D
And I see her now runnin' barefoot down the driveway
Am                                D
Jumpin' in my front seat in those faded old PJ's

Chorus
        G
We were screamin' down the river road
Em                         Am                D
Smilin' at the fadin' city lights in my rear view
                G               F#m         Em
Lookin' for the place she feels safe, not a soul around
D            C                       D
lay a little blanket down... woo woo woo
       G                 B             Em    D         Am
We had all the right in- gredients for doin' something new
        G               Am
Made my move revved her upright
                   D                     G
Marinatin' in that sweet, sweet southern moon

Instrumental:
Em      Am      D      G   F#m     Em   D     C      C

             G         Em
Haven't been here in a few years
Am               D                  G         Em
So, I brought a- long this old gui- tar and a few beers
Am            D
Guess I had a feelin'

            Am                       D
I'd write a song, sittin' here I can hear that river echo
         Am                        D
With the memories I'm glad I have, I will never let go of

Chorus
G
Screamin' down the river road
Em                         Am                D
Smilin' at the fadin' city lights in my rear view
                G            F#m
Looking for the break in the fence
       Em        D           C                D
That a few of my friends and I took a handsaw to
       G                 B             Em    D         Am
We had all the right in- gradients for doin' something new
           G            Am
Drank some brews, had a great time
                   D
Marinatin' in that sweet, sweet summer

G       Am                                   D
Smokin' joints down by the river, stoned and laughin' under
G            Am
You're in my heart; you are a part of me
    D                     G
You sweet, sweet southern moon

Interlude:
 Em      Am
Yeah, yeah yea yeah    D Yea, yeah yea yeah
          G   F#m     Em   D     C      C

          C                              G
There's a break in the fence between the sixth and seventh tree
     C                         G
