SOUTHERN SUMMER NIGHTS
Duane Deemer BMI / Mason Douglas / Dak Alley  

(C)				          (C)
Moonlight flickers overhead…another walk to clear my head
(G)		           (G)
And think about her…think about her

(C)				    (C)
All the memories still so sweet…like honeysuckle on the breeze
(G)		      (G)
I think about her…and those

		          (Em)		        (G)
Southern summer nights…almost isn’t real
		  (Em)				(G)
Stars caress the sky…is it still her breath I feel
			     (Am7)			   (C)    (D)
Sweet something in the wind…blowing across my skin
			    (Em)   (G)
The southern summer nights

   (C)				      (C)
I stop to hear the nightbird cry…like a distant lullabye
(G)		               (G)
And I think about her…and I should’ve told her

(C)				          (C)
When the glow of the firefly…was so much softer in her eyes
(G)		           (G)
I should’ve held her…closer…on those

	CHORUS

		(Am7)       (G/B)(C)		  (C)  
The night will fade to the sun, fade like her love

(C)				          (C)
When today has come and gone, the shadows of the trees are long
(G)		                                (G)
I’ll let the sunset take me back to those 

	CHORUS
