When It's Sleepy Time Down South

GM7       G6              Gm       Gm7
Pale moon shining on the fields below,

D         DM7             E7      Bm9  Bb9
Folks are crooning songs soft and low,

Em7     G/B             A7sus4 A7+5   A7   G
Needn't tell me so, be - cause   I   know 

             Gm         D
It's sleepy time down south.


GM7          G6              Gm       Gm7
Softs winds blowing thru the pinewood trees,

 D         DM7           E7      Bm9   Bb9
Folks down there live a life of ease;

          Em7     G/B       A7sus4 A7+5   A7   G
When the twilight brings the eve - ning breeze,

             Gm         D
It's sleepy time down south.



Bridge:

 F#                Bbm      B           C#7
Steamboats on the river, a-comin' and a-goin',

  C#7                 F3
Splashing the night away

F#                Bbm           B             C#7
Hear those banjos ringing, the folks are alla-singin' --

      B                  C#7    A7
They dance till break of day.


GM7         G6               Gm      Gm7
Dear old Southland, with its dreamy songs,

D         DM7            E7    Bm9   Bb9
Takes me back there where I belong;

Em7     G/B       A7sus4 A7+5   A7   G
How I'd love to be moth - er's arms

                  Gm         D
When it's sleepy time down south.
