Capo on 1
[Intro]
D G D D G D G
[Verse]
Sun kissed Dhair and not much makeup, Ghigh-heeled boots that Dlace up
GTwo first names that Dcame from her Bmgrandmas on both Asides
She ain't Dever read much Faulkner, but she Gcould've been his Ddaughter
She grew Bmup on muddy Awater, southern Dstyle
[Chorus]
Southern Dstyle, free and easy, southern Bmstyle, warm and breezy
If you Gmet her, man, be-Dlieve me, you'd want Aher to stay a while
She says, she Ddon't believe in strangers, only Bmsinners with a savior
'Cause her Gmom and daddy Araised her southern DstyleG  
[Verse]
She's a DFriday night light lover, a Billy GGraham fan like her Dmother
She wants her Gdaddy and both Dbrothers to Bmwalk her down the Aaisle
She likes Doysters raw for dinner, Lil GWayne and Lynyrd DSkynyrd
Keeps her Bmtan lines in the Awinter, southern Dstyle
[Chorus]
Southern Dstyle, free and easy, southern Bmstyle, warm and breezy
If you Gmet her, man, be-Dlieve me, you'd want Aher to stay a while
She says, she Ddon't believe in strangers, only Bmsinners with a savior
'Cause her Gmom and daddy Araised her southern Dstyle
[Solo]
G G A Bm A
[Chorus]
Southern Dstyle, free and easy, southern Bmstyle, warm and breezy
If you Gmet her, man, be-D/F#live me, you'd want Aher to stay a while
She says, she Ddon't believe in strangers, only Bmsinners with a savior
'Cause her Gmom and daddy Araised her southern Dstyle
You can Dlove her, you can hate her, but you're Bmnever going to change her
If you Gwant her, then you'll Atake her, --- southern Dstyle
