              G         D        C      D       G    D  C  D 
And I been in love with New York City a time or two 
           G       D            C       D  
I had some Seattle coffee, some Chicago wind 
     G            D                  C   D 
Some Kansas sweet fields I'd love to see again 
        Am 
But the fireflies play where the cattails grow 
         C                         D 
And them southern girls, they talk nice and slow with 



[Refrão]

G                   C

Soft as cotton in some cut-off jeans 
          G    D-C 
Don't you know, 
                     Em         C 
Ain't nothing in the whole wide world, like a southern girl 
G             D              C              D  
Southern girl rock my world, hazel eyes and golden curls

G                 D             C                D           G    D  C  D 
A southern girl's mama probably taught her how a lady should act 
      G               D              C              D          G    D  C  D 
But a southern girl's probably got a barn somewhere reared out back 
                    G          D         C             D   
She'll get a little hay in her hair, her thighs in the mud 
           G             D         C             D 
She's been caught in the rain, and washed in the blood 
      Am   
Likes jiggers in her coke, takes a little sip, 
      C                    D 
Comes over to me with them sunburned lips and them
