G
[Verse 1]
F7Eb7Ab
Southern boys are warm and lovely
Ab7G7
They speak gently of their homes and show you pictures of the folks
F7Eb7Ab
Their breath in your ear is as soft as the cotton
FmEbD7G
Whether they’re wooing or whispering the latest racist joke
[Chorus]
CG7
I get knocked right off my feet
CG7
When I hear that Southern drawl
CG7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
CG7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
AmE7
And I don’t mind the pain
AmCD7G
‘Cause the feeling’s worth the fall
[Verse 2]
F7Eb7Ab
Buttered grits is fare for breakfast
Ab7G7
And if you like and your aim is good, maybe a squirrel
F7Eb7Ab
Then around nine, we pass that moonshine
FmEbD7G
And it’s on out to the porch for a moonlight swing with me your Northern girl
[Chorus]
CG7
I get knocked right off my feet
CG7
When I hear that Southern drawl
CG7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
CG7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
AmE7
And I don’t mind the pain
AmCD7
‘Cause the feeling’s worth the fall
[Verse 3]
GF7Eb7Ab
Were you born? Oh, where do you come from?
Ab7G7
Is your tropic in Cancer and is your sun sign divine?
F7Eb7Ab
Oh, let it out, oh, please don’t hide it
FmEbD7G
All that good ol’ stuff down below that Mason-Dixon Line
[Chorus]
CG7
I get knocked right off my feet
CG7
When I hear that Southern drawl
AmE7
And I don’t mind the pain
AmCG7
‘Cause the feeling’s worth the fall
CG7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
CG7
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
AmE7
And don’t extend your hand
AmC
‘Cause I couldn’t move at all
