                                    You Tube Link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1Ih1HXNkUU
   [Intro]
A5    A5   A5   A5
   [Verse 1]
A7               G                   D                A7
Southbound again I don't know if I'm going or leaving home
A7               D                                    A7
Southbound again I don't know if I'm going or leaving home
                    D
Boy got to be moving
                               A7
Seems like the boy is bound to roam
   [Verse 2]
A7                  G               D             A7
Every single time I roll across the rolling River Tyne
A7                  D                             A7
Every single time I roll across the rolling River Tyne
                          D
I get the same old feeling
                               A7
Every time I'm moving down the line
   [Instrumental]
A7        G   D     A7
A7   D        A7
A7   D        A7
A5   A5   A5  A5
   [Verse 3]
A7               G            D            A7
Southbound again last night I felt like crying
A7               D                         A7
Southbound again last night I felt like crying
                            D
Right now I'm sick of living
                            A7
But I'm going to keep on trying
   [Outro]
A7   A7   A7   A7
                 (TO FADE)
