When It's Sleepy Time Down South chords by Billie Holiday

Guitar chords with lyrics

G7M       G6              Gm       Gm7
Pale moon shining on the fields below
D         DM7             E7      Bm9  Bb9
Folks are crooning songs soft and low
Em7     G/B             A4/7 A7/13-   A7 G
Needn't tell me so, beause   I   know
             Gm         D
It's sleepy time down south
G7M          G6              Gm       Gm7
Softs winds blowing thru the pinewood trees
D         D7M           E7      Bm9   Bb9
Folks down there live a life of ease;
          Em7     G/B       A4/7  A7/13-   A7   G
When the twilight brings the evening breeze
             Gm         D
It's sleepy time down south
F#                Bbm      B          C#7                      C#7                 F3
Steamboats on the river, a-comin' and a-goin', splashing the night away
F#                Bbm           B             C#7                           B                  C#7    A7
Hear those banjos ringing, the folks are alla-singin' they dance till break of day
G7M         G6               Gm      Gm7
Dear old Southland, with its dreamy songs
D         D7M            E7    Bm9   Bb9
Takes me back there where I belong
Em7     G/B       A4/7 A7/13-   A7 G
How I'd love to be mother's arms
                  Gm         D
When it's sleepy time down south
F#                Bbm      B          C#7                       C#7                 F3
Steamboats on the river, a-comin' and a-goin', splashing the night away
F#                Bbm           B             C#7                           B                  C#7    A7
Hear those banjos ringing, the folks are alla-singin'  they dance till break of day
 G   G7M   G6                Gm9     Gm7
Dear old Southland, with its dreamy songs
D     D9  D7M   D6  E7   Bm9   Bb9
Takes me back where I belong
Em7     G/B       A4/7 A7/13-   A7  G
How I'd love to be mother's arms
            G     Gm         D    Bm7
When it's sleepy time down south
           Em7   G/B A4/7    A7/13-  D6
When it's sleepy      time  down south
