Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine

Fm7 Eb Bb

And show me the way to get home

Well I'm blue-collar branded, and stuck in a mill

Fm7 Eb Bb

Hard work is a way of life for me

Bb Ab Eb Bb

Well I'm too young to live like I'm over the hills

Fm7 Eb Bb

And too old to be wild and free

F Bb

My heart is onward bound......I'm rolling with the feeling and i can't slow

down

F Bb

....I need a guiding light......shining down to lead me through the night

Bb Ab Eb Bb

Oh southern star, how I wish you would shine

Fm7 Eb Bb

And show me the way to get home

INSTRUMENTAL: Bb Ab Eb Bb Fm7 Eb Bb (repeat)

Bb Ab Eb Bb

Oh, hey my D.J. friend, would you play me one more song

Fm7 Eb Bb

And let my mind just go and drift away

Bb Ab Eb Bb

Now we all have a dream....and a place where we belong

Fm7 Eb Bb

Somewhere we can go and escape

F Bb

My heart is onward bound....I'm rolling with the feeling and i can't slow down

F Bb

....I need a guiding light.....shining down to lead me throught the night

Bb Ab Eb Bb

Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine

Fm7 Eb Bb

And show me the way to get home

REPEAT INSTRUMENTAL

Bb Ab Eb Bb

Oh, southern star, how I wish you would shine

Fm7 Eb Bb

And show me the way to get home

There ya go!
