Southland in the Springtime Indigo Girls
SOUTHLAND IN THE SPRINGTIME (Emily Saliers)
(Actually in A, so capo at the 2nd fret.)
(Each chord is one measure, except chords joined by hyphens are one
measure _total_.)
[G](int[F/G]ro)[C(9)] [D] [G] [F/G] [C(9)] [D]
[G]Maybe we'll make T[F/G]exas by the m[C(9)]orning[D]
Light the b[G]ayou with our ta[F/G]illights in the ni[C(9)]ght[D]
Eight h[Em]undred miles to El [C]Paso from the st[G]ate[-] li[Gsus]ne[G]
And we [F(9)]never have the [C]money for the fl[Am7]ight[D7]
VERSE 2:
I'm in the b[G]ack seat sle[F/G]epy from the tr[C(9)]avel[D]
Played our he[G]arts out all night l[F/G]ong in New Orlean[C(9)]s[D]
I'm d[Em]irty from the di[C]esel fuel, dr[G]inki[-]ng c[Gs]offee bl[C/G]ack
When the [G]first breath of T[Am7]exas comes in cl[D7sus]ean[D7]
CHORUS:
And there's [G]something about the [G]southland in the spr[C]ingtime[C]
Where the [G]waters flow with c[B7]onfidence and r[Em]eason[C]
Though I [G]miss her when I'm g[Gsus/A]one, it won't [G/B]ever be too l[Gsus/C]ong
Till I'm [Am7]home again to sp[G/B]end my favorite s[C]eason[D]
When god m[Am7]ade me born a y[G/B]ankee he was te[C]asing[D]
There's no pl[Em7]ace like home and n[G/B]one more plea[C]sing than the [D]southland
in the spring[G]time[C/G] [C] [F/C] [-] [C] [D] [C] [G] [-] [Gsus] [G]
In Georgia, nights are softer than a whisper
Beneath a quilt somebody's mother made by hand
With the farmland like a tapestry passed down through generations
And the peach trees stitched across the land
There'll be cider up near Helen off the roadside
And warm peanuts in a bag to warm your fingers
And the smoke from the chimneys meets its maker in the sky
With a song that winter wrote whose melody lingers
(Repeat chorus, end on last G.)
