Adam Carroll - South Of Town guitar chord

South of Town

By Adam Carroll

Capo 2

D G D G

I went to the barroom last night, I promised not to drink

Bm G D G

before I went out the door that night I should have promised not to think

Bm G Bm G

About the flipside of my actions when I came home alone

F#m G Em A

but I'm leavin' too so if you come back you can expect to find me gone

Chorus

Bm G

And if you wonder where I am tell you where I'll be

Bm G Em G

Don't use a map or a directory cuz' I don't like making plans or problems

D C G Em G

I just like knockin' around cuz' doing nothing feels like something

A G D

when your somewhere south of town

Trees bring shade to a porch swing morning, the air smells somwhat clean

My only luxuries are my memories and they make room for my dreams

And pastures I've seen lots or pastures and dirt roads I've seen one

It may not take me to a destination but my destiny is just begun

Repeat Chorus

(I just like making my rounds)

Key change to

Bm G D

Maybe tomorrow you can find another man

F#m G Em A

tomorrow won't take care of today, tomorrow is the second hand

Bm D G A

And postcards say I'm sorry for lack of a better of a word

G D G A

but goodbye says I'll love you, goodbye never hurt

You can go to Puerto Rico spend your weekdays in the sun

and you can kill time looking at historical markers along the Highway 21

But if you drive as far Crockett, TX or if you get on a plane

You can think of me in terms of your memories but you'll never hear me complain

Chorus
