Verse:
       B                          F#      
I was dyin' in that small town, dreamed of headin, southbound
Ab/G#                E 
So I hitched down   I-65
B                         F#
Climbed into her trans-am an hour below birmingham
         Ab/G#                               E
She was headed home and I was there for the ride
             B                        F#
We started taking nonsense, she was laughin at my accent
    Ab/G#                    E
We wound up on the alabama shore
           B                         F#
There was magic in the night air, a gulf breeze in her blonde hair
        Ab/G#                      E
That's what my soul was searchin' for

Chorus :
       B                  F#                   
Summer moonlight southern daughter
B                      E5
She led me down to the water 
       B                     F#
As we lay on that cool white sand
      E              B
I was born again in dixieland

Guitar:  B-G#-F#-E-F#-G#-B

Verse II
    B                                   F#
We drank from a mason jar underneath a blanket of stars
        Ab/G#                            E
I said, do you believe this was meant to be
             B      
She told me, I believe in front porch swings, 
F#
Songs that the crickets sing
      Ab/G#                             E
And I believe you belong down here with me 

Repeat chorus:

Bridge :
D#                              B     
We watched the twilight fade, there by the ocean waves
        E              F#
And it made me feel at home 
            B               C#/Db
I knew I'd found my place, lost in her embrace
      E5              F#7
I was baptized in her arms

Repeat chorus:
       B                   F#
Summer moonlight southern daughter
B                       E5  
She led me down to the water 
       B                     F#
As we lay on that cool white sand
      E
I was born again 
       B                   F#
Summer moonlight southern daughter
B                      E5
She led me down to the water 
       B                     F#
As we lay on that cool white sand
      E              B 
I was born again in dixieland
