Doc Watson – Bright Sunny South (Guitar)

         G                         Am
From the bright sunny south to the war I was sent

                              G            Em
E'er the days of my boyhood I scarcely had spent

         Am                     G            Am
From its cool, shady forest and deep flowing streams

                                       G
Ever fond in my memory and sweet in my dreams

                             Am
Oh, my dear little sister, I still see her tears

                            G          Em
When I had to leave home in our tender years

       Am                       G          Am
And my sweet, gentle mother, so dear to my heart

                                       G
It grieved me sincerely when we had to part

                               Am
Said my kind-hearted father as he took my hand

                             G           Em
"As you go in defensе of our dear native land

        Am                        G        Am
Son, be bravе, but show mercy whenever you can

                                             G
Our hearts will be with you 'til you return again"

                              Am
In my bag, there's a Bible to show me the way

                                  G          Em
Through my trials on Earth and to Heaven someday

       Am                     G            Am
I will shoulder my musket and brandish my sword

                                            G
In defense of this land and the word of the Lord
