Southern Kind Of Life Chords

Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro play twice: G G C

G I grew up a long way from here C

G I slept with the lights on C for fifteen years

 And G Sabbath kept me home on FriCday Nights

 And G Daddy sang me Rogers

 Just to C make everything all right

G My town wasn’t even on the C map

G You could pass right through it in C twenty seconds flat

 But the G south was like the whole world to C me

G Wasn't easy to stay but it was C harder to D leave

Chorus

 Yeah I was a C south D bound G child

 Yeah I had a C small D town G life

 But I turned C out D all G right C in the North

D Living that Southern kind of G life

C G C G

 Old friends and Bibles filled the C house

G No room for money and no C money anyhow

G Deprived was something we alCways heard

G But to me and my brother it was C just another word

G I used to think the north was the C end

G Cos people go there and they don’t C come back D again

G But my fathers father was a C man of the sea

G He lived the southern life two C blocks away from D me

CHORUS x 2

C G C G C G
