|(C) / / / |(C) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) / / / |(Em) / / / |(C) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) / / / | x3

When I (C) die lord won’t you put my soul up on a (G)train
Won’t you (C)send it Southbound give it a cool bluesman name (G)
I’ve been (C)lost out on those back roads so many times I've gone (G)blind
(C)Losing faith in my family had drove me right out my damn mind (G)
 
(Chorus)
But on the (Em)South side of heav-(C)en won’t you take me home (G)
Cause I've been (Em)broke down for so long (C) and Lord it's gettin’ cold (G)
 
(Solo)
|(C) / / / |(C) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) / / / |(Em) / / / |(C) / / / |(G) / / / |(G) / /
 
Well I've been a (C)desperado in west Texas for so long lord, I need a (G)change
And for (C)ten long years, this old place ain’t seen a drop of (G)rain
And that (C)wind blows everyday Lord, oh like a desert snow (G)
Like a (C)lost bound train, running on cocaine and out of control (G)
 
(Chorus)
But on the (Em)South side of heav-(C)en won’t you take me home (G)
‘Cause I've been (Em)broke down for so (C)long and Lord it's gettin’ cold (G)

(Tempo Rubato)
(Em) - - - Along those Louisi-(C)ana byway, (G) (C) lonesome highway’s (G)rollin’ on 
Won’t you (C)take me where the poor man lives, it’s where I call (G)home
And (C)can't you see that a breeze, is nothin’ but a change in (G) pace
(C)Money can’t buy my soul, ‘cause it comes from a hard earned place (G)
(Atempo)
Kick back up to the standard tempo for the rest of the song:
 
(Chorus) (x2)
But on the (Em/B)South side of (C)heaven won’t you take me (G)home
‘Cause I've been (Em/B)gone for so (C)long and Lord it's gettin’ (G)cold
But on the (Em/B)South side of (C)heaven won’t you take me (G)home
‘Cause I've been (Em/B)gone for so (C)long and Lord it's gettin’ (G)cold
