SOUTH OF CINCINNATI / Dwight Yoakam
G CG
Chorus:
G B7 C G
If you ever get south of Cincinnati
C D7 G D7
down where the dogwood trees grow
G B7 C G
If you ever get south of the Mason Dixon
C D7 G D7
to the home you left so long ago
G B7 C G
If you ever get south of the Ohio River
C D7 G D7
down where Dixieland begins
G B7 C G
If you ever get south of Cincinnati
C D7 G C G
IŽll be yours again.
G C G
She pulled the letter from the pages of her Bible
D7 G
And a rose pressed inside the Book of Luke
G C G
For fourteen years sheŽd write each day but keep it hidden
D7 G
Refused to even speak his name, but still she wrote:
Chorus:
If you ever.....
[INSTRUMENTAL, SAME AS CHORUS]
G C G
At a cold gray apartment in Chicago
D7 G
A cigarette drowns inside a glass of gin
C G
He lies there drunk but it donŽt matter drunk or sober
D7 G
HeŽll never read the words that pride wonŽt let her send
Chorus:
If you ever.....
C D7 G
Then IŽll be yours again
[INSTRUMENTAL, SAME AS CHORUS (FADING)]
