Your Southern Soul chords by The Walkmen

Chords with lyrics

This is a song that will probably appear on the forthcoming album, Heaven. Bear
with me on the lyrics, as Ham (God love him) tends to slur his words.

INTRO

C# minorC#m barred on the 4th fret alternately picking A augmentedA and the remaining four strings
and low E MajorE and the same four below. Do four bars of this back and forth pattern,
which is incidentally the sort of motion you should be doing whenever possible
throughout the song.

VERSE

C# minorC#m        D MajorD (barred right above)
Family comes from Kentucky

D MajorD             C# minorC#m
And there's bourbon in the blood

C# minorC#m         D MajorD         G+G   F# minorF#m
Head up the country for the city in 19-fifty-one

CHORUS

G+G open       D MajorD open
Me, I'm in between two worlds

G+G open    D MajorD open     F# minorF#m
Saw you on TV last night...

VERSE

C# minorC#m       D MajorD
Life looks easy on the TV

D MajorD           C# minorC#m
Rewriting the sun blue years [no clue on these lyrics]

C# minorC#m            D MajorD         G+G  F# minorF#m
I'll fill my evenings with images of the hazy here-after

CHORUS

G+G open         D MajorD open
I don't even know your name

G+G open            D MajorD open
It's your southern heart I'm after

B minorBm         F# minorF#m    D MajorD open
It's your southern heart I'm after

OUTRO

e---------3-3---]
B---------3-5---]
G---------4-5---] X 2
D-----4---5-5---]
A---5---5-5-x---]
E-5-------x-x---]


Now repeat the above pattern (which I'll call D-G-C) over the following lyrics:

D MajorD           G+G       C majorC      D-G-C
Tell me again how you loved all the men you were after

D MajorD          G+G     C majorC    D-G-C
Tell me again of the end in the hazy hereafter

D MajorD           G+G       C majorC      D-G-C
Tell me again how you loved all the men you were after

D MajorD           G+G       C majorC      D-G-C
Tell me again how you loved all the men you were after

END

2 bars of E minorEm and finish on open D MajorD
