Southside Of Heaven Chords

[Intro]
| Cadd9   | G       | Em  Cadd9 | G   
(Harmonica comes in on Em after first 
   |  x4
measure)

Cadd9                                   
When I die lord oh won’t you put my soul
        G
up on a train
         Cadd9                        
Won’t you send it Southbound give it a 
             G
cool bluesman name
         Cadd9                       
I’ve been lost on those back roads so 
                    G
many times I've gone blind
Cadd9                                   
Losing faith in my family had driven me 
             G
outta my damn mind

[Chorus]
            Em          Cadd9        
But on the South side of heaven won’t 
           G
you take me home
               Em                Cadd9
Cause I've been broke down for so long 
                       G
and Lord it's gettin’ cold

[Short Break]
Cadd9  G  Em  Cadd9  G  x2

                  Cadd9                
Well I've been a desperado in west Texas
                              G
for so long lord, I need a change
      Cadd9                           
And for ten long years, this old place 
                      G
ain’t seen a drop of rain
        Cadd9                        
And that wind blows everyday Lord, oh 
              G
like a desert snow
     Cadd9                         
Like a lost bound train, running on 
                     G
cocaine and out of control

[Chorus]
          Em            Cadd9        
But on the South side of heaven won’t 
             G
you take me home
               Em                Cadd9
Cause I've been broke down for so long 
                      G
and Lord it's gettin’ cold

[Long Break]
Cadd9  G  Em  Cadd9  G  x4
(end midway on Em while starting the 
next verse)

Play this next verse very slowly:

Em                 Cadd9               
Along those Louisiana byways… lonesome 
              G
highways roll on 
         Cadd9                      
Won’t you take me where the poor man 
                           G
lives… it’s where I call my home
   Cadd9                           
And can't you see that a breeze… is 
                       G
nothin’ but a change in pace
Cadd9                                   
Money can’t buy my soul… ‘cause it comes
                   G
from a hard earned place

{Kick back up to the standard tempo for 
the rest of the song:}

[Chorus] (x2)
           Em           Cadd9        
But on the South side of heaven won’t 
           G
you take me home
               Em          Cadd9    
Cause I've been gone for so long and 
                 G
Lord it's gettin’ cold

[Outro]
| Cadd9   | G       | Em  Cadd9 | G     
(Repeat until fade)
