Tuning:

This is my favorite song both to listen to and play on the Guitar! Boys From the South No Capo Intro (x4) D,G

^DMaybe he's in Texas, maybe this town ^GMaybe Oklahoma plowin' up some ground ^DSouthern Carolina, somewhere on the coast, ^GMaybe Alabama drivin' thru Montgomery ^Emright now. ^GThere's somethin' 'bout ^Da boy from the ^GSouth.

D,G

^DMaybe he's in Florida, somewhere in the pines, ^GMaybe on the delta throwin' out a line, ^DMaybe he's in Georgia, starin' at the stars, ^GMaybe Tennessee pickin' on a guitar ^Emright now. ^GThere's somethin' 'bout ^Da boy from the ^Gsouth.

D,G

Yea,^G the first time I felt it I was only 16, And h^De kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree. Sa^Gid "Goodnight darlin'," with a sweet southern drawl. Man, I t^Emhink I might just have to love them^G all – ^DMy boys from the ^GSouth.

D,G

^DMaybe in Kentucky, workin' in the mine. ^GMaybe down in Little Rock, just to pass the time. ^DMaybe he's somewhere in New Orleans, ^GLivin' it up in the Big Easy^Em right now. ^GThere's somethin' 'bout a^D boy from the S^Gouth.

D,G

Yea,^G the first time I felt it I was only 16, And^D he kissed me underneath the chinaberry tree. ^GSaid "Goodnight darlin'," with a sweet southern drawl. Man, I ^Emthink I might just have to love the^Gm all – ^DMy boys from the^G South.

^DMaybe he's in Texas, maybe this ^Gtown. ^DMy boys from the ^GSouth.

D,G (x4) For anyone who is skipping the intro and end and just playing with the lyrics: At the end of the song I like to do one E chord just for a finished feel.
