Song: Southern Sun 
By:   Boy and Bear

[intro:]  {guitar+keys+bass}
A
In all you'll see
             F
Was it that,  came down on me that night?
A                               F
 A conjury, I held on to that, moment in black
                  {let ring}
Just to make it alive...

{it’s a syncopated beat, the Am is like a passing two beat note}
F                                 (Am)  F
F                                 (Am)  G  {band kicks in}
G                                 (Am)  G
G                                 (Am)  F

[verse: 1]
F                                 (Am)   F
You sit out there in the coverin'-
F                                 (Am)  G
In the baskings of the holy night
G                            (Am)   G
And I was lucid and conscious
G                            
And hovering like a firefly
F                                 (Am)   F
  I’m lying stretched out on the canopy
F                                 (Am)  G
It put it's arms out slow
G                           (Am) G
And I heard the whispers of silence
G
Floating down from the radio

[chorus: 1]
F
So come on, come on I'm ready now
                                             G
I got the feeling honey like I'm ready to roll... 
         F
You see I’m not gonna wait till the end of me
                                                G
Cause I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul
G                         G              
(ahhhh ohhh)  (ahhhh ohhh)
 
[verse: 2]
F                                 (Am)   F
I saw the light from a kettle gun
F                                 (Am)  G
16 days under a Southern Sun
G                            (Am)   G
And there were times when I thought that
G                                        
I wouldn't mind it if I lost my mind 
      F                                           (Am)   F
out there you wouldn't believe me if I told you so
F                                        (Am)  G
The things I saw were enough to make the man in me a man in me
G                           G         
Mmm make a man of me

[chorus: 2]
F
So come on, come on I’m ready now
                                                   G
Go get your things out honey, let’s get ready to roll...
F
Oh I can feel the wave coming over me
                                                            G
I’ve been waiting for this day too long just to let it all go...
G                         G              
(ahhhh ohhh)  (ahhhh ohhh)

[bridge:]
F {strum}
As a child I was wonder-eyed
Am
At the thought that I might know
F                           C       G
A life in the ecstasy of rock’n'roll o-oh-oh ...
F [band kicks in}
Now taking it slow... I’m an arrow in a bow...
                          G                                G {let ring}            
You’d think that I would know... what it is that makes me roll...

[chorus: 1]
F {band kicks in}
So come on, come on I'm ready now
                                             G
I got the feeling honey like I'm ready to roll... 
F
You see I’m not gonna wait till the end of me
                                                G
Cause I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul
G                                   G
(ahhhh ohhh)  (ahhhh ohhh)
