 SOUTHLAND IN THE SPRINGTIME (Emily Saliers)

 -------------------------------------------
 

 (Actually in A, so capo at the 2nd fret.)
 (Each chord is one measure, except chords joined by hyphens are one
 measure _total_.)
 
 G   F/G C(9) D G F/G C(9) D 
 (intro)
 
 G                 F/G          C(9)  D 
 Maybe we'll make Texas by the morning
            G               F/G               C(9) D 
 Light the bayou with our taillights in the night
        Em                 C               G  -  Gsus G 
 Eight hundred miles to El Paso from the state line
        F(9)           C               Am7 D7 
 And we never have the money for the flight
 
 VERSE 2:
             G           F/G            C(9) D 
 I'm in the back seat sleepy from the travel
              G                   F/G              C(9) D 
 Played our hearts out all night long in New Orleans
      Em              C            G   -   Gs      C/G 
 I'm dirty from the diesel fuel, drinking coffee black
          G                Am7             D7sus D7 
 When the first breath of Texas comes in clean
 
 CHORUS:
             G                   G                   C      C 
 And there's something about the southland in the springtime
           G                 B7             Em   C 
 Where the waters flow with confidence and reason
          G                  Gsus/A        G/B          Gsus/C 
 Though I miss her when I'm gone, it won't ever be too long
          Am7             G/B              C    D 
 Till I'm home again to spend my favorite season
           Am7            G/B            C    D 
 When god made me born a yankee he was teasing
              Em7                G/B          C             D        
 There's no place like home and none more pleasing than the southland
              G   C/G C F/C - C D C G - Gsus G 
 in the springtime
 
 In Georgia, nights are softer than a whisper
 Beneath a quilt somebody's mother made by hand
 With the farmland like a tapestry passed down through generations
 And the peach trees stitched across the land
 There'll be cider up near Helen off the roadside
 And warm peanuts in a bag to warm your fingers
 And the smoke from the chimneys meets its maker in the sky
 With a song that winter wrote whose melody lingers
 
 (Repeat chorus, end on last G.)
