Southern Winds chords by Bonfire

Intro G C9 Am C D
    Em C D

G        D
Dreamin' by the fire
    C      G
at the Gulf of Mexico
  Am        C
Somebody's playin' a lovesong
    G       D
With a six string homesick tone
G      D
Memories of summer
   C         G
the first time we made love
    Am       C
And a promise left unspoken
   G        D
I saw in a shooting star

  Em         C
The Southern wind was blowin'
  G        D
as if he wants to say
  Em        C
The words I whispered in my heart
D
Only yesterday

     G      C9
You're my only one my risin' sun
      G
You're the air I wanna breathe
      C9      D
Girl you're everything I need
   G         C9
My shining star that's what you are
    Am
And as long my heart will beat
     C     D       Em  C  D
You'll be everything everything I need

  G        D
The fire is still burning
    C        G
I was humming to the song
     Am        C
Couldn't think of all the words
   G      D
So I made them up my own
    G        D
Like a secret door that opens
    C         G
these words just set me free
     Am       C
And the promise left unspoken
    G       D
was the owner of the key

    Em          C
Oh the Southern wind keep blowin'
    G       D
please carry me back home
    Em       C
There's somebody who is waiting
     D
and I've gotta let her know

     G      C9
You're my only one my risin' sun
      G
You're the air I wanna breathe
      C9      D
Girl you're everything I need
   G         C9
My shining star that's what you are
    Am
And as long my heart will beat
     C     D       G
You'll be everything everything I need

Solo C9 G C9 D
    G C9 Am C D

     Em          C
And when Southern Winds are blowin'
      G      D
they might even bring some rain
     Em       C
But the promise left unspoken
   D
will always be the same
D
Always be the same

     G      C9
You're my only one my risin' sun
      G
You're the air I wanna breathe
      C9      D
Girl you're everything I need
   G         C9
My shining star that's what you are
    Am
And as long my heart will beat
     C9     D       G
You'll be everything everything I need
   C9    G
Wohh wohh, uhh uhh
          C9  D
Like the Southern Winds
   G         C9
My shining star that's what you are
    Am
And as long my heart will beat
     C9     D       G
You'll be everything everything I need
