INTRO
GD
Times were rough when times were lean,
CGDAmC
Most of the time nobody seemed to care.
GD
No more peace in a southern breeze,
C
Whistlin' through the willow trees
GDAmG/B
And I see you standin' there.
CG/BAmG/B
And I reach out to touch your face,
CG/BAmD
But the cold hard facts of life put me in my place.
CDGG7
Southern rain, fallin' down on me.
CDGG7
Think I'm back to yesterday and the way things used to be.
CDGF#mEm
Sweet Home on the radio, why do things have to change?
CDCDG
Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern rain.
G D Am C (x2)
INSTRUMENTAL
GDC
Watermelon growin' on the vine, the sweet taste of homemade wine,
GDAmC
And the soft touch of your fingertips.
GD
Layin' down by the riverside,
C
Do you recall how we used to hide,
GDAmG/B
So I could taste your lips?
CG/BAmG/B
Though the winds of change took me from home,
CG/BAmD
So many years just pass me by, and now I'm all alone.
CDGG7
Southern rain, fallin' down on me.
CDGG7
Think I'm back to yesterday and the way things used to be.
CDGF#mEm
Sweet Home on the radio, why do things have to change?
CDCDGG7
Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern rain.
FCGFG
You said that we could last forever,
FCGFG
But I had my wild oats yet to sow.
FCEm
For every storm and each endeavour,
CG/BAmD
The past and the love we found just will not let me go.
CDGG7
Southern rain, fallin' down on me.
CDGG7
Think I'm back to yesterday and the way things used to be.
CDGF#mEm
Sweet Home on the radio, why do things have to change?
CDCDEmG
Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern rain.
CDCDG
Oh Lord, what I would not give to feel that southern, southern rain.
DAmCGDAmCG
Oh to feel that southern rain. (repeat to finish)
