SWEET SUNNY SOUTH(LIVE AT TIVOLI)
G C G
take me home to the place where i first saw the light
C
to the sweet sunny south take me home
G C G
where the mockingbirds sang me to sleep every night
D G
oh why was i tempted to roam
G C G
oh i think with regret of that dear home i left
C
and the warm hearts that sheltered me there
G C G
of my wife and the dear ones with whom i bereft
D G
for the old place i long to be near
G C G
take me back to the place where the orange trees grow
C
to my plot in the evergreen's shade
G C G
where the flowers from the rivers green margins do grow
D G
and spread their sweet scent through the glade
G C G
oh the path to our cottage they say has grown green
C
and the place is quite lonely around
G C G
oh i know that the smiles and the forms i have seen
D G
now lie in the dark mossy ground
G C G
take me back let me see what is left that i knew
C
can it be that the old house is gone
G C G
dear friends of my childhood indeed must be few
D G
and i must face my death all alone
G C G
take me back to the place where my little ones sleep
C
oh marcie lays buried near by
G C G
ore the graves of my loved ones i long for to weep
D G
and among them to rest when i die
G C G
take me back to the place where i first saw the light
C
to the sweet sunny south take me home
G C G
where the mockingbirds sang me to sleep every night
D G
oh why was i tempted to roam
