South Wind of Summer by The Flatlanders
(Joe Ely, Butch Hancock, Jimmie Dale Gilmore)
Slow waltz type flavour (texas style)
A G A
AWhen the south wind of CsummerG  
Sings through the Dtrees
And the high mountain AthunderG  
Hangs low in the Dbreeze
A strong heart flows F#mover, Bman empty heart Gfills
And the south wind of Dsummer Gcaresses the Dhills
There is no Bmreturning, the seasons don?t Dend
They just blow through the F#mbranchesG  
And bend with the Awind
When the south wind of Csummer Gsings to the Dpines
And the faraway Acities Gseem so close Dbehind
A strong heart flows F#mover, Bman empty heart Gfills
And the south wind of DsummerG  
Blows where it Dwills
There is no Bmreturning, the seasons don?t Dend
They just blow through the F#mbranches
And bend with the Awind
C G D A G D F#m Bm G D G D Bm D G D G D G D
