[Verse 1]
A7            A
Andalusia, Alabama,
A7            A
In the August heat,
D                    C
Hot enough to fry an egg,
             A
On the cobblestones,
A7                               A
It’s too hot to put your clothes on,
A7              A
It’s too hot to eat,
D
Mama says you’re just,
C                 A
All skin and lazy bones,
B
All day long a Coca-Cola,
B
Is all you can think of,
D7
Late at night your body gets so,
E
Thirsty for his love, it’s just.


[Chorus]
A
Deep Summer,
       A7   A
In The Deep South,
         E
All that constant perspiration,
       G            E
Always makes a body pout,
         A
Drippin’ sweet nothings,
          D
From your honeysuckle mouth,
           A
Now you’re drowning in,
     E
Deep Summer,
            A
In The Deep South.


[Verse 2]
A7                        A
You go knockin’ on his window,
A7                A
When the moon is full,
D                         C
Then you slip down to the river,
             A
For a skinny dip,
A7                        A
Ain’t no tellin’ what can happen,
A7                 A
When push comes to pull,
D                     C
And your heart starts melting,
                A
In the summer’s grip,
B
Ain’t no way you can describe it,
B
How he makes you feel,
D7
It’s like the river took you in its arms,
E
And swept you to Mobile, it’s just.


[Chorus]
A
Deep Summer,
       A7   A
In The Deep South,
         E
All that constant perspiration,
       G            E
Always makes a body pout,
         A
Drippin’ sweet nothings,
          D
From your honeysuckle mouth,
           A
Now you’re drowning in,
     E
Deep Summer,
            A
In The Deep South.


[Bridge]
B                           B7    B
Don’t know how you’re gonna stand it,
B7
How much your heart aches,
D7
All that you can do is hold on ‘til that,
E
Scarlet fever breaks, it’s just.


[Outro]
A7 A  A7 A  D  C
Deep Summer,
            A
In The Deep South.
A  D  C  A
