Sun in a ^Gsouthern sky is ^Gall I ^G/F#need to ^Emsee ^C Just watching a ^Gsmall bird fly, a^Gbove the ^G/F#fields and ^Emme ^C Walking a ^Gdusty road and there's ^Gnothing '^G/F#round the ^Embend Except for ^Amgolden ^Ctones of ^Amgoing home a^Ggain

Muddy old ^Griver flowing '^Gneath a ^G/F#fallen ^Emtree ^C And sunflower ^Ggarden growing ^Gtwice as ^G/F#tall as ^Emme ^C Sister and ^Gfather hear me, ^Gwhat I've ^G/F#learned to^Emday I ain't no ^Amnorthern ^Cgirl, I've ^Ambeen too long a^Gway
