Tom: Em
A
[Verse 1]
A7 A
Andalusia, Alabama,
A7 A
In the August heat,
D C
Hot enough to fry an egg,
A
On the cobblestones,
A7 A
It’s too hot to put your clothes on,
A7 A
It’s too hot to eat,
D
Mama says you’re just,
C A
All skin and lazy bones,
B
All day long a Coca-Cola,
B
Is all you can think of,
D7
Late at night your body gets so,
E
Thirsty for his love, it’s just.
[Chorus]
A
Deep Summer,
A7 A
In The Deep South,
E
All that constant perspiration,
G E
Always makes a body pout,
A
Drippin’ sweet nothings,
D
From your honeysuckle mouth,
A
Now you’re drowning in,
E
Deep Summer,
A
In The Deep South.
[Verse 2]
A7 A
You go knockin’ on his window,
A7 A
When the moon is full,
D C
Then you slip down to the river,
A
For a skinny dip,
A7 A
Ain’t no tellin’ what can happen,
A7 A
When push comes to pull,
D C
And your heart starts melting,
A
In the summer’s grip,
B
Ain’t no way you can describe it,
B
How he makes you feel,
D7
It’s like the river took you in its arms,
E
And swept you to Mobile, it’s just.
[Chorus]
A
Deep Summer,
A7 A
In The Deep South,
E
All that constant perspiration,
G E
Always makes a body pout,
A
Drippin’ sweet nothings,
D
From your honeysuckle mouth,
A
Now you’re drowning in,
E
Deep Summer,
A
In The Deep South.
[Bridge]
B B7 B
Don’t know how you’re gonna stand it,
B7
How much your heart aches,
D7
All that you can do is hold on ‘til that,
E
Scarlet fever breaks, it’s just.
[Outro]
A7 A A7 A D C
Deep Summer,
A
In The Deep South.
A D C A
