[Intro] G  C9  Am  C  D
        Em  C  D
 
G                D
Dreamin' by the fire
        C           G
at the Gulf of Mexico
    Am                C
Somebody's playin' a lovesong
        G              D   
With a six string homesick tone
G            D
Memories of summer
     C                  G
the first time we made love
       Am              C
And a promise left unspoken
      G               D
I saw in a shooting star

    Em                  C
The Southern wind was blowin'
   G               D
as if he wants to say
    Em                C  
The words I whispered in my heart
D
Only yesterday

          G           C9
You're my only one my risin' sun
           G                   
You're the air I wanna breathe
            C9            D
Girl you're everything I need
     G                  C9
My shining star that's what you are
        Am
And as long my heart will beat
          C          D             Em   C   D            
You'll be everything everything I need

    G                D
The fire is still burning
       C               G
I was humming to the song
          Am               C
Couldn't think of all the words
      G            D 
So I made them up my own
        G               D
Like a secret door that opens
       C                  G
these words just set me free
         Am              C
And the promise left unspoken
        G             D
was the owner of the key

       Em                   C
Oh the Southern wind keep blowin'
        G             D
please carry me back home
        Em              C
There's somebody who is waiting
         D
and I've gotta let her know

          G           C9
You're my only one my risin' sun
           G               
You're the air I wanna breathe
            C9            D
Girl you're everything I need
     G                  C9
My shining star that's what you are
        Am
And as long my heart will beat
          C          D              G
You'll be everything everything I need

[Solo] C9  G  C9  D
       G  C9  Am  C  D
         
         Em                   C
And when Southern Winds are blowin'
           G            D  
they might even bring some rain
         Em              C
But the promise left unspoken
     D
will always be the same
D
Always be the same

          G           C9
You're my only one my risin' sun
           G               
You're the air I wanna breathe
            C9            D
Girl you're everything I need
     G                  C9
My shining star that's what you are
        Am
And as long my heart will beat
          C9         D              G
You'll be everything everything I need
      C9       G
Wohh wohh, uhh uhh
                   C9    D
Like the Southern Winds
     G                  C9
My shining star that's what you are
        Am
And as long my heart will beat
          C9         D              G
You'll be everything everything I need
