Kasey Chambers - Sounthern Kind Of Life

From "The Captain" (2002)
(Kasey Chambers)
  
Capo: 3rd Fret

INTRO:  [G]   [C]  (X2)

[G] I grew up a long way from here [C]
[G] I slept with the lights on [C] for fifteen years
And [G]Sabbath kept me home on Fri[C]day Nights
And [G]Daddy sang me Rogers just to [C]make everything all right

[G] My town wasn't even on the map [C]
[G] You could pass right through it in [C]twenty seconds flat
But the [G]south was like the whole world to me [C]
[G] It wasn't easy to stay but it was [C]harder to [D]leave

CHORUS:
Yeah I was a [C]south [D]bound [G]child
Yeah I had a [C]small [D]town [G]life
But I turned [C]out [D]all [G]right in [C] the north
[D] Living that southern kind of life [G]

[G]Old friends and bibles filled the [C]house
[G]No room for money and no [C]money anyhow
[G]Deprived was something we always [C] heard
[G]But to me and my brother it was [C]just another word

[G]I used to think the north was the end [C]
[G]Cause people go there and they don't [C]come back again
[G]But my father's father was a [C]man of the sea
[G]He lived the southern life two [C]blocks away from [D]me

CHORUS (x2)
