Archie Fisher - South Wind Chords

[Verse 1]
C                 G7
South wind of the gentle rain,
    C      F      C
you banish winter weather
                    G7
Bring salmon to the pool again,
    C     F        C
the bees among the heather
   C         Csus4   F       C
If northward now you mean to blow,
       C            G7
as you rustle soft above me
    C        Csus4    F      C
God speed be with you as you go
               G7         C
and a kiss for those that love me
 
[Verse 2]
C                      G7
From south I come with velvet breeze,
   C        F      C
my word all nature blesses,
                    G7
I melt the snow and strew the leaves
     C           F      C
with flowers and soft caresses;
    C         Csus4  F        C
I'll help you to  dispel your woes,
                        G7
with joy I'll take your greeting
    C       Csus4   F       C
And bear it to your loved Mayo
        G7       C
upon my wings so fleeting.
 
[Verse 3]
C                       G7
Ny Connaught, famed for wine and play,
   C        F       C
so leal, so gay, so loving
                      G7
Here's my fond kiss I send today
C            F           C
borne on the wind in its roving.
      C       Csus4    F        C
Those Munster folk are good and kind,
                   G7
right royally they treat me
         C        Csus4  F       C
But this land I'd gladly leave behind,
                    G7       C
with your Connaught pipes to greet me.
