NOTES:
This song is in Bb, a grisly key for the guitar, but slap a capo on 3 and
it's quite easy to play. Chords are relative to the capo position.
Timing is 3/4 (Waltz time).

     G      Em             C        B7
It's always summer in this Southern state
            C        G    C           Em
Where I'm behind the moon floating in space
    G          Em           C                B7
But I'm not in hiding, just trying not to be found
          C       G      C           Em
So when I hear my name I never turn around

G        Em           G            Em
Woo-hooh whoo-hoo-ooh whoo-ooh ooh hoo ooh

Chords:
G  320033    C  x32010
Em 022033    B7 x2120x

G           Em          C             B7
Here in the valley they live in their cars
        C        G             C         Em
As they dream of fields, under oceans of stars
    G        Em      C         B7
And I'm disappearing into that grid
           C               G     C         Em
Where I'll live out in the open, perfectly hid

G        Em           G            Em
Woo-hooh whoo-hoo-ooh whoo-ooh ooh hoo ooh

Em 022033    B7 x2120x

     G      Em             C        B7
It's always summer in this Southern state
           C           G          C         Em
And it's a comfortable life, in a beautiful place
    G           Em        C           B7
But something's rattling, somewhere inside
       C                G                C             Em
And it sounds like it's broken, but in a place I can't find

       G         B7          C/G
And it only gets louder with time

G        Em           G            Em
Woo-hooh whoo-hoo-ooh whoo-ooh ooh hoo ooh

[repeat x3]

[end on G]
