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
Iґll 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 sheґd 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 donґt matter drunk or sober
                                  D7                 G
Heґll never read the words that pride wonґt let her send



Chorus:
If you ever.....

     C        D7     G
Then Iґll be yours again

[INSTRUMENTAL, SAME AS CHORUS (FADING)]
