[Intro]
 E   G   A   Ex4
[Verse]
EI remember back wheGn I was sixteen
I was Asittin' around pickin' just mEy pops and me
when his Efriend walked up in a Gcowboy hat 
Said "I Alike what your doin' but Eit ain't where its at"
EI see this road will Gleave you cold and alone
AOld dead broke and just Ea bag of bones
So you Ebetter take heed to thGe words I say
AAnd stay quite clear of thaEt lost highway
[Chorus]
GOh southerAn wind wont you take Eme high
I got Gseven ladies dancin' Anaked by an old camEp fire
GGood times Apickin' with a bottle Eof wine
I'll  be an Gold broke guitAar picker, lord, Ewhen I die
[Verse]
EHoles in my clothes GI got holes in my shoes
I got Aa  hole in the heart, that's Ewhy I'm singin' the blues
It put sEome change in my pockeGt but it's all gone
And eveArything that I do it seemEs to be wrong
ESo now I'm broke I'm Gback on the street
Awith a guitar case in fEront of Tate and me
So you Ebetter listen up cause Git ain't no lie
PAlease throw a nickel in whEen you walk by
[Chorus]
GOh southerAn wind won't you take Eme high
And itGs hard to keep rolliAn when all you got iEs flat tires
GGood times Apickin' with a bottle Eof wine
I'll be an Gold broke guitaAr picker, lord, wEhen I die
[Solo] 
 E   G   A    E   E   G   A   Bm   Ax2   E   G   A   A   G   E   A   G  E  
[Verse]
EI came in this worlGd with nothin on my back
Now I'All leave the same and thats a Efact
I ain't Ein it for the money I Gain't in it for the fame
And I dAon't really care if you rEemember my name
ESo now I gotta to go GI gotta hit the road
AI gotta do the only thiEng that I know
I got tEhis feeling deep down Gand I got to be true
AAnd I sure as hell ain't goEnna  change for you
[Chorus]
GOh southerAn wind wont you take Eme high
When I Ghear the sounds comAing from an amplifieEr
GGood times Apickin' with a bottle Eof wine
I'll  be an Gold broke guitAar pickerE

I remember back when I was sixteen

I was sittin' around pickin' just my pops and me

when his friend walked up in a cowboy hat

Said "I like what your doin' but it ain't where its at"

I see this road will leave you cold and alone

Old dead broke and just a bag of bones

So you better take heed to the words I say

And stay quite clear of that lost highway

[Chorus]

G A E

Oh southern wind wont you take me high

G A E

I got seven ladies dancin' naked by an old camp fire

G A E

Good times pickin' with a bottle of wine

G A E

I'll be an old broke guitar picker, lord, when I die

[Verse]

E G

Holes in my clothes I got holes in my shoes

A E

I got a hole in the heart, that's why I'm singin' the blues

E G

It put some change in my pocket but it's all gone

A E

And everything that I do it seems to be wrong

E G

So now I'm broke I'm back on the street

A E

with a guitar case in front of Tate and me

E G

So you better listen up cause it ain't no lie

A E

Please throw a nickel in when you walk by

[Chorus]

Oh southern wind won't you take me high

Oh southern wind wont you take me high
