INTRO
G D
Times were rough when times were lean,
C G D Am C
Most of the time nobody seemed to care.
G D
No more peace in a southern breeze,
C
Whistlin' through the willow trees
G D Am G/B
And I see you standin' there.
C G/B Am G/B
And I reach out to touch your face,
C G/B Am D
But the cold hard facts of life put me in my place.
C D G G7
Southern rain, fallin' down on me.
C D G G7
Think I'm back to yesterday and the way things used to be.
C D G F#m Em
Sweet Home on the radio, why do things have to change?
C D C D G
Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern rain.
G D Am C (x2)
INSTRUMENTAL
G D C
Watermelon growin' on the vine, the sweet taste of homemade wine,
G D Am C
And the soft touch of your fingertips.
G D
Layin' down by the riverside,
C
Do you recall how we used to hide,
G D Am G/B
So I could taste your lips?
C G/B Am G/B
Though the winds of change took me from home,
C G/B Am D
So many years just pass me by, and now I'm all alone.
C D G G7
Southern rain, fallin' down on me.
C D G G7
Think I'm back to yesterday and the way things used to be.
C D G F#m Em

F C G F G
You said that we could last forever,
F C G F G
But I had my wild oats yet to sow.
F C Em
For every storm and each endeavour,
C G/B Am D
The past and the love we found just will not let me go.
C D G G7
Southern rain, fallin' down on me.
C D G G7
Think I'm back to yesterday and the way things used to be.

Oh to feel that southern rain. (repeat to finish)
