The South Wind Of Summer
Music and lyrics by Butch Hancock, Joe Ely and Jimmie Dale Gilmore


A                       C    G                 D
When the south wind of summer sings thru the trees
                        A    G                   D
And the high mountain thunder hangs low in the breeze
                    F#m   Bm               G
A strong heart flows over, an empty heart fills
                       D    G              D
And the south wind of summer caresses the hills

               Bm                        D
There is no returning, the seasons don't end
                         F#m    G                   A
They just blow thru the branches and bend with the wind

                        C                   D
When the south wind of summer sings to the pines
                 A    G                D
And the faraway cities seem so close behind
                     F#m  Bm               G
A strong heart flows over, an empty heart fills
                       D    G                D
And the south wind of summer blows where it will

              Bm                         D
There is no returning, the seasons don't end
                        F#m     G                   A
They just blow thru the branches and bend with the wind
