Roger Miller - South

^CHot afternoon sometime in June Sitting on the front porch ^Fwaiting on the moon

Talking to my neighbor next ^Cdoor ain’t never ever ^G7very much fun ^CGo get my car and my guitar ride through town with the ^Ftop down

Maybe I could buy me some ^Cbeer run out and look at the ^G7farms

And they call it the ^Fsouth ^G7it’s the land of the ^Cfree It lost the ^G7only war it ever fought in histo^Cry

But I love the ^Fsouth ^G7it’s the land of the ^Cfree It’s the land of ^Fhush your mouth and ^G7Joe South

And that’s home to ^Cme

She was born in ’52 she finished in a Missis^Fsippi school And something about her ^Csmile that turns you ^G7on

She’s ^Cdifferent like another world And you can tell she’s not a ^FNew York girl

And something about her ^Ckiss that takes you ^G7home

But she was born in the ^Fsouth ^G7Memphis Tennes^Csee She was ^G7rich in looks from a poor Memphis ^Cfamily

But she will stay in the ^Fsouth ^G7it’s the land of the ^Cfree It’s the land of ^Fhush your mouth and ^G7Joe South

And that’s home to ^Cme

California I love you your hills are high and your ^Foceans blue In LA there’s always ^Csomething to do and you’re ^G7never alone

But ^CI like fall and I like spring I love snow and I ^Flove rain And there’s something about ^CLA I can’t call ^G7home

I guess I’ll stay in the ^Fsouth ^G7it’s the land of the ^Cfree It lost the ^G7only war it ever fought in histo^Cry

But I love the ^Fsouth ^G7it’s the land of the ^Cfree It’s the land of ^Fhush your mouth ^G7Joe South

And that’s home to ^Cme

And they call it the ^Fsouth ^G7it’s the land of the ^Cfree It lost the ^G7only war it ever fought in histo^Cry
