The Benjy Davis Project - Sweet southern moon

There's a ^Cbreak in the fence between the ^Gsixth and seventh tree Just ^Cwide enough to fit an SU- ^GV You can't ^Csee it from the river road, it's ^Ghidden by the leaves But I'll ^Amshow you if you promise that you ^Dwon't say anything

Take it ^Ceasy goin' up, spinnin' ^Gtires will get you stuck We'll be ^Cright back down at the bottom of the ^Glevee Take it even ^Ceasier goin' down that grass stays ^Gmuddy all year round But get goin' ^Cfast at the path and keep it ^Gsteady

^AmI tell my parents we were ^Dgoin' to the movies, yeah The ^Ammovie in the middle of the ^Dwoods

And we were ^Gscreamin' down the river road ^EmSmilin' at the fadin' city ^Amlights in my rear ^Dview Lookin' for the ^Gbreak in the ^F#mfence That a ^Emfew of my ^Dfriends and ^CI took a handsaw ^Dto We had ^Gall the right in- ^Bgredients for ^Emdoin' ^Dsomething ^Amnew Drank some ^Gbrews had a ^Amgreat time Marinatin' in that ^Dsweet, sweet southern ^Gmoon

She was ^Gpristine, I was ^Emfifteen, ^Amnothing to ^Dlose But my vir- ^Gginity and I ^Emdid right there ^Amunder that mag- ^Dnolia tree And I ^Gdon't re- ^Emmember any- ^Amthing, I re- ^Dmember how she ^Gfelt Lord, I re- ^Emmember every- ^Amthing, I remember it ^Doh so well

And I ^Amsee her now runnin' barefoot down the ^Ddriveway ^AmJumpin' in my front seat in those ^Dfaded old PJ's

We were ^Gscreamin' down the river road ^EmSmilin' at the fadin' city ^Amlights in my rear ^Dview Lookin' for the ^Gplace she feels ^F#msafe, not a ^Emsoul around ^Dlay a little ^Cblanket down... woo woo ^Dwoo We had ^Gall the right in- ^Bgredients for ^Emdoin' ^Dsomething ^Amnew Made my ^Gmove revved her ^Amupright Marinatin' in that ^Dsweet, sweet southern ^Gmoon

Haven't been ^Ghere in a ^Emfew years ^AmSo, I brought a- ^Dlong this old gui- ^Gtar and a ^Emfew beers ^AmGuess I had a ^Dfeelin'

I'd write a ^Amsong, sittin' here I can ^Dhear that river echo With the ^Ammemories I'm glad I have, ^DI will never let go of
