Southland in the Springtime Indigo Girls
SOUTHLAND IN THE SPRINGTIME (Indigo Girls)
capo at the 2nd fret.
[G](in[F]tr[C]o)[D] [G] [F] [C] [D]
[G]Maybe we'll make Texas by the [C]morning [D]
Light the [G]bayou with our taillights in the [C]night[D]
Eight [Em]hundred miles to El [C]Paso from the [G]state line
And we [F]never have the [C]money for the [Am7]flight[D7]
VERSE 2:
I'm in the [G]back seat sleepy from the [C]travel[D]
Played our [G]hearts out all night long in New [C]Orleans[D]
I'm [Em]dirty from the [C]diesel fuel, [G]drinking coffee [C]black
When the [G]first breath of [Am7]Texas comes in [D7]clean

CHORUS:
And there's [G]something about the southland in the [C]springtime
Where the [G]waters flow with [B7]confidence and [Em]reason[C]
Though I [G]miss her when I'm [C]gone, it won't [G]ever be too [C]long
Till I'm [Am7]home again to [G]spend my favorite [C]season[D]
When God [Am7]made me born a [G]yankee he was [C]teasing [D]
There's no [Em7]place like home and [G]none more pleas[C]ing
than the [D]southland in the s[G]pringtime[C] [F] [D] [C] [G]
Verse 3:
In [G]Georgia, nights are softer than a [C]whisper[D]
Beneath a [G]quilt somebody's mother made by [C]hand [D]
With the [Em]farmland like a [C]tapestry passed [G]down through gene[C]rations
And the [F]peach trees [C]stitched across the [Am7]land [D7]
Verse 4:
There'll be [G]cider up near Helen off the [C]roadside[D]
And warm [G]peanuts in a bag to warm your [C]fingers[D]
And the [Em]smoke from the [C]chimneys meets its [G]maker in the [C]sky
With a [F]song that winter [C]wrote whose melody [Am7]lingers[D7]
Chorus:
And there's someth[G]ing about the southland in the spring[C]time
Where the [G]waters flow with [B7]confidence and [Em]reason[C]
Though I [G]miss her when I'm [C]gone, it won't [G]ever be too [C]long
Till I'm [Am7]home again to [G]spend my favorite [C]season[D]
When God [Am7]made me born a [G]yankee he was [C]teasing [D]
There's no [Em7]place like home and [G]none more pleas[C]ing
than the [D]southland in the s[G]pringtime[C] [F] [D] [C] [G]
