G+G FF C majorC  D MajorD   G+G FF C majorC D MajorD
[intro]

G+G               C majorC    D MajorD
Maybe we'll make Texas by the morning
     G+G                C majorC   D MajorD
Light the bayou with our taillights in the night
   E minorEm         C majorC       G+G
Eight hundred miles to El Paso from the state line
    FF       C majorC       Am7Am7  D7D7
And we never have the money for the flight

VERSE 2:
      G+G             C majorC   D MajorD
I'm in the back seat sleepy from the travel
      G+G                C majorC    D MajorD
Played our hearts out all night long in New Orleans
  E minorEm       C majorC      G+G        C majorC
I'm dirty from the diesel fuel, drinking coffee black
     G+G        Am7Am7      D7D7
When the first breath of Texas comes in clean
CHORUS:
      G+G                  C majorC
And there's something about the southland in the springtime
     G+G        B7B7       E minorEm   C majorC
Where the waters flow with confidence and reason
     G+G         C majorC       G+G      C majorC
Though I miss her when I'm gone, it won't ever be too long
     Am7Am7      G+G         C majorC   D MajorD
Till I'm home again to spend my favorite season
     Am7Am7      G+G       C majorC    D MajorD
When God made me born a yankee he was teasing
      E minor 7Em7         G+G       C majorC
There's no place like home and none more pleasing
     D MajorD         G+G     C majorC FF D MajorD C majorC G+G
than the southland in the springtime

Verse 3:
  G+G                 C majorC    D MajorD
In Georgia, nights are softer than a whisper
     G+G                C majorC  D MajorD
Beneath a quilt somebody's mother made by hand
     E minorEm       C majorC        G+G        C majorC
With the farmland like a tapestry passed down through generations
    FF      C majorC          Am7Am7 D7D7
And the peach trees stitched across the land

Verse 4:
      G+G              C majorC    D MajorD
There'll be cider up near Helen off the roadside
     G+G               C majorC    D MajorD
And warm peanuts in a bag to warm your fingers
    E minorEm       C majorC         G+G      C majorC
And the smoke from the chimneys meets its maker in the sky
    FF        C majorC         Am7Am7   D7D7
With a song that winter wrote whose melody lingers

Chorus:
         G+G                  C majorC
And there's something about the southland in the springtime
     G+G        B7B7       E minorEm   C majorC
Where the waters flow with confidence and reason
     G+G         C majorC       G+G      C majorC
Though I miss her when I'm gone, it won't ever be too long
     Am7Am7      G+G         C majorC   D MajorD
Till I'm home again to spend my favorite season
     Am7Am7      G+G       C majorC    D MajorD
When God made me born a yankee he was teasing
      E minor 7Em7         G+G       C majorC
There's no place like home and none more pleasing
     D MajorD         G+G     C majorC FF D MajorD C majorC G+G
than the southland in the springtime
