Southern Rains Chords by Mel Tillis

_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Sometimes my soul gets weary [C] and my mind [G] begins to wander
And like that old train, the Humminbird, it goes [D] to Alabama
_ They [G] say home is where the heart is [C] and mine is [G] down in Dixie
When you go down to Dixie, [D] you're heading for higher [G] ground
Southern way
Blowing [C] from the coast of [G] Mississippi Southern way
I feel better [A] when those southern [D] waters hit [G] me
I can't dip in the Jordan [C] seven times [C#m] to ease the pain
[G] But I can pray for [D] help and hope from [C] Southern Rain _ [G] Southern way
Like the sunshine, [C] it's a blessing [G] sent from heaven Southern way
They can wash away [A] your cares [D] if you let them
[G] You may not believe my story [C] and you may say [G] I'm insane
But they're the closest thing [D] to home, those [C] Southern Rain
_ [A#] All [C] _ _
[A#] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ sick is the feeling [C] that a body [G] can't get over
There's no such thing as healing and it won't go [D] away with time
_ [G] When we're young, we want to get [C] away
When we're old, we [G] want to go back
And we spend our lives replacing [D] all the things we [G] leave behind
Southern Rain
Blowing [C] from the coast of [G] Mississippi Southern Rain
