Verse 1

E MajorE        C#C#           F#7F#7
Southern Nights, have you ever felt the southern night?
A augmentedA
Free as a breeze, not to mention the trees, whistling
G# minorG#m             B7B7
tunes that you know and love so.
E MajorE        C#C#           F#7F#7
Southern Nights, just as good even when closed your eyes.
   A augmentedA       G# minorG#m
I apologize, to any one who can truly say
       B7B7
that he has found a better way.

Southern Skies, have you ever noticed southern skies?
A augmentedA
It's precious beauty lies just beyond the eye.
    G# minorG#m                B7B7
It goes running through your soul like the stories told of old.
E MajorE    C#C#               F#7F#7
Old man, he and his dog that walked the old land.
    A augmentedA
Every flower touched his cold hand.
   G# minorG#m            B7B7          E MajorE
As he slowly walked by, weeping willows would cry for joy.

Blow in the night, in the southern skies.
