Genre: country, folk, pop

Key G

[Intro]
G G

[Verse]
G C G
Sometimes my soul gets weary and my mind begins to wander
D
And like that old train "The Hummingbird" it goes to Alabam
G C G
They say home is where the heart is and mine is down in Dixie
D G
And when you go down to Dixie, you're heading for higher ground

[Chorus]
G
Southern rain
C G
Blowing from the coast of Mississippi
G
Southern rain
A D
I feel better when those southern waters hit me
G C A7
I can't get into Jordan seven times to ease the pain
G D C
But I can pray for help and hope for southern rain
G
Southern rain
C G
Like the sunshine it's a blessing sent from heaven
G
Southern rain
A D
They can wash away your cares if you let them
G C A7
You may not believe my story and you may think I'm insane
G D C G
But they're the closest thing to home those southern rains

[Verse 2]
G C G
Homesick is a feeling that a body can't get over
D
There's no such thing as healing and it won't go away with time
G C G
When were young we want to get away when we're old we want to go back
D G
And we spend our lives replacing all the things we leave behind

[Chorus]
G
Southern rain
C G
Blowing from the coast of Mississippi
G
Southern rain
A D
I feel better when those southern waters hit me
G C A7
I can't get into Jordan seven times to ease the pain
G D C
But I can pray for help and hope for southern rain
