Southern Nights Chords by Allen Toussaint

[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Southern night, have you ever [Ab] felt a southern light? _ _ _
_ [B] Free as a breeze, not to mention the dreams,
[Bbm] whistling tunes [Db] that you know in the snow.
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] Southern sky, just as [Ebm] good [Ab] even when close your eyes.
_ _ [B] Higher, fall or die, _ _ _ [Bbm] to anyone who can do to say
[Db] that you just found a way.
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Feel so [Eb] good, feel so good [Ab] it's frightening,
wish I could [Bb] _ [Ab] stop this world [B] from fighting back. _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Southern sky, [Eb] _ have you ever [Ab] noticed southern sky?
_ _ It's [B] precious beauty that _ beams [Abm] beyond the [B] eye. _ _
[Bbm] Ghost rushing through your snow [Db] like the stories told of [B] old,
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
old men.
He [Eb] and his daughter, [Ab] _ _ _ [B] _ [Ab] _ _ one [B] touch his cold hand. _ _ _
[Bbm] As he slowly walked by, the [Db] weeping river would cry
[Gb] for your _ _ _ _ _ _ _ misery.
_ [Eb] _ Like the spinning [Ab] wheels in the trees, _ _ _ _
[B] blowing the night [Db] _ in the southern [Gb] _ sky. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ [Ab] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
