Southern rains (video)

G C G

1. Sometimes my soul gets weary and my mind begins to wonder,

D

and like that old train, the Hummingbird, it goes to Alabam.

G C G

They say home is where the heart is and mine is down in Dixie,

D G

and when you go down to Dixie you're heading for higher ground.

G C G

Southern rains blowing from the coast of Mississippi,

A7 D

southern rains, I feel better when those southern waters hit me.

G G7 C A7

I can't dip into Jordan seven times to ease the pain,

G D C

but I can pray for help and hope from southern rain.

G C G

Southern rain, like the sunshine it's a blessing sent from heaven,

A7 D

southern rains, they can wash away your cares if you let them.

G G7 C A7

You may not believe my story and you may say I'm insane,

G D C

but they're the closest thing to home those southern rains. + G ~

G C G

2. Homesick is a feeling that a body can't get over,

D

there's no such thing as healing and it won't go away with time.

G

When we’re young we want to get away,

C G

when we're old we want to go back,

D G

and we spend our lives replacing all the things we leave behind.

+ repeat CHORUS ....

(Mel Tillis)
