Southern Kind Of Life      by Kasey Chambers
Capo 3rd fret
Intro play twice:
     G(strum)   G              C         

    G                                       C
I grew up a long way from here
   G                                  C
I slept with the lights on for fifteen years
   G                                                        C
And Sabbath kept me home on Friday Nights
   G               
And Daddy sang me Rogers
              C
just to make everything all right
    G                                        C
My town wasnt even on the map
    G                                                     C
You could pass right through it in twenty seconds flat
    G                                                               C
But the south was like the whole world to me
      G            (Single strums)C         D
Wasn't easy to stay but it was harder to leave

Chorus-
                        C        D        G
Yeah I was a south bound child
                        C      D      G
Yeah i had a small town life
                     C   D    G   C
But I turned out all right in the North
  D                                          G
Living that Southern kind of life
G                                                  C
Old friends and Bibles filled the house
G                                                 C
No room for money and no money anyhow
G                                                          C
Deprived was something we always heard
G                                                   C
But to me and my brother it was just another word
G                                                    C
I used to think the north was the end
G                                                                    C
Cos people go there and they dont come back again
G                                            C
But my fathers father was a man of the sea
G                                                C                        D
He lived the southern life two blocks away from me

Chorus-
