Fly Me South

• D

Intro - D - Cadd9 - G  = 2x's 
 
 
(verse 1) 
       D 
Well I came from California,  
Just a teenage drunkin buck, 
Lookin for a new road in my old pickup truck, 
Fresh out of school, out on my own, 
I met a pretty girl she was travilin alone, 
G 
She took me north to her home town, 
             D 
Where she thought we might marry, and settle down, 
A                         Bb      A 
I wasn't ready for the freezing cold, 
          D 
I wasn't ready to wear no ring of gold, 
 
 
(chourus) 
D        A 
Fly me south for the winter, 
                 A 
I need a good change in the weather, 
                      A 
My cold heart ain't gettin any warmer, 
        D   Cadd9 - G               D    - Cadd9 - G 
Fly me south,        south for the winter, 
 
 
 
(verse 2) 
D 
Well I'm lookin for a new love, 
Somethin on the other side, 
I'll take a little lady with a little rebel pride, 
    G 
A southern belle talkin in a southern drawl, 
D 
Walkin in the sun, with her danty parasaw, 
A                    Bb         A 
She treats a man as sweet as a peach, 
              D 
But in this ganky land she's out of my reach, 
 
 
(Chorus) 
D        A 
Fly me south for the winter, 
                 A 
I need a good change in the weather, 
                      A 
My cold heart ain't gettin any warmer, 
        D   Cadd9 - G               D    - Cadd9 - G 
Fly me south,        south for the winter, 
 
 
(lead - D) 
 
 
(verse 3) 
D 
I'll go to Alabama and run through Tennessee, 
and through Louisiana, and across the Mississippi, 
G 
Deep in the heart of the Texas pride, 
D 
The Carolina's to the Georgia pines, 
A                             Bb     A 
I'll find a lady with some southern kin, 
D 
Buy me a ticket and I'm gone with the wind, 
 
 
(Chorus) 
D        A 
Fly me south for the winter, 
                 A 
I need a good change in the weather, 
                      A 
My cold heart ain't gettin any warmer, 
        D   Cadd9 - G               D    - Cadd9 - G 
Fly me south,        south for the winter, 
                D    - Cadd9 - G 
south for the winter, 
                D    - Cadd9 - G - F - D 
south for the winter
