Chorus:
G (slide F# to G)
Im Southbound
G C7 G
Good old road dont you get me down
G A7 D
Got on board a wing and prayer, passing through this town
G B7
Get to where im going by the break of day
C G
Not quite certain can't really say
G B7 C D
Ain't hard to see the roads one way and its southbound
(Stress roots of chords for that wonderful walkup....G, B, C, C#, D)
Verses:
G
Yes Houston up to Memphis
Good lord what a long hard ride
Chicago to old St Louis town
A7 D
now that is more my style
G B7
Been on the road for some time
C7 G
Got the Double Vision Gotta Troubled Mind
G B7 C D
Wont be long before you'll find me southbound
(Again, Stress roots of chords for that wonderful walkup....G, B, C, C#, D)
Chorus
Oh Breakneck had a train wreck
It's a jam in the left hand lane
It's holding up my production
Got held up by a southbound train
Been on the track for some time
Got the Double Vision Gotta Troubled Mind
Wont be long before you'll find me southbound
Chorus
No luck in Atlanta
Last chance Tennessee
Settle down I'm southern bound
It's home sweet home to me
I've seen the light and I do believe
When I get down there I won't wanna leave
Won't be long before you find me southbound
Solos are played with the same chord progression as the chorus.
