Walkmen - Your Southern Soul

this is a song that will probably appear on the forthcoming album , heaven . bear
with me on the lyrics , as ham ( god love him ) tends to slur his words .

intro

C#m barred on the 4th fret alternately picking a and the remaining four strings
and low E and the same four below . do four bars of this back and forth pattern ,
which is incidentally the sort of motion you should be doing whenever possible
throughout the song .

verse

C#m D ( barred right above )
family comes from kentucky

D C#m
and there’s bourbon in the blood

C#m D G F#m
head up the country for the city in 19 – fifty – one

chorus

G open D open
me , i’m in between two worlds

G open D open F#m
saw you on tv last night . . .

verse

C#m D
life looks easy on the tv

D C#m
rewriting the sun blue years [ no clue on these lyrics ]

C#m D G F#m
i’ll fill my evenings with images of the hazy here – after

chorus

G open D open
i don’t even know your name

G open D open
it’s your southern heart i’m after

Bm F#m D open
it’s your southern heart i’m after
