[Verse 1]
E                C#7                     F#7           
Southern Nights, have you ever felt the southern night?
A                                                    
Free as a breeze, not to mention the trees, whistling
G#m                          B7 
tunes that you know and love so.
E               C#7                      F#7             
Southern Nights, just as good even when closed your eyes.
      A              G#m                 
I apologize, to any one who can truly say
             B7                
that he has found a better way.

[Verse 2]
E               C#7                    F#7           
Southern Skies, have you ever noticed southern skies?
A                                             
It's precious beauty lies just beyond the eye.
        G#m                                B7                  
It goes running through your soul like the stories told of old.
E        C#7                             F#7     
Old man, he and his dog that walked the old land.
       A                           
Every flower touched his cold hand.
      G#m                        B7                   E   
As he slowly walked by, weeping willows would cry for joy.

[Verse 3]
E              C#7                            
Feels so good, feels so good it's frightening.
F#7                                         
Wish I could, stop this world from fighting.
A                                   
La da da da da da la da da da  da da

E          C#7                        F#7         
Mysteries, like this and many others in the trees.
A                         B7       E     
Blow in the night, in the southern skies.
