Southern Man chords (for acoustic guitar)
Neil Young 1970
Capo III
2x
Southern man
Dmaj7*
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
Southern change
gonna come at last
Now your crosses
are burning fast;
Southern man
I saw cotton
and I saw black
Tall white mansions
and little shacks.
Southern man
when will you
pay them back?
I heard screaming
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?
2x . . . .
Southern man
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
Southern change
gonna come at last
Now your crosses
are burning fast;
Southern man
Lily Belle,
your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man
coming round
Swear by God
I'm gonna cut him down!
I heard screaming
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?
2x . . . .
* Dmaj7 is barred high E, B, G and (optional D strings), 2nd fret
