Southern Sun by Boy and Bear
Great song from an Australian band. Note, the Am is like a passing note. You can play it or not.

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) [coda:] F (Am) F F (Am) G G (Am) G G (Am) F chords:
