Take Me Back To The Sweet Sunny South Chords

(ver. 1)
Joan Baez
[Intro]
 
G
 
[Chorus]
 
        G                                       D
Take me back to the place where I first saw the light
      G                          C
To my sweet sunny south, take me home
          G           C         D           G
Where the wild birds sing me to sleep every night
   G                    D
Oh why was I tempted to roam
 
[Verse]
 
    G                                    D
The path to our cabin they say has grown green
        G                       C
And the stones are quite mossy around
       G             C              D           G
And I know that the places and the forms that I love
     G                    D
Now lie in the cold mossy ground
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        G                                       D
Take me back to the place where I first saw the light
      G                          C
To my sweet sunny south, take me home
          G           C         D           G
Where the wild birds sing me to sleep every night
   G                    D
Oh why was I tempted to roam
 
 
[Instrumnetal is same as the rest]
 
 
[Verse]
        G                                         D
Take me back to the place where the orange trees grow
      G                       C
To my place in the evergreen shade
          G               C            D          G
Where the flowers on the river's green margins do grow
     G                 C             D
And share their sweet scent with the glade
 
 
[Chorus]
 
        G                                       D
Take me back to the place where I first saw the light
      G                          C
To my sweet sunny south, take me home
          G           C         D           G
Where the wild birds sing me to sleep every night
   G                    D
Oh why was I tempted to roam
