           G    Em       D      Bm7
I think of goin' south for the winter
        C           D7
It's getting mighty cold
             G    Em
I watch the fire glow
         D
The moon shining 'cross the snow
    Bm7    C      D
Maybe Florida or Mexico
        D7sus4    G
Is where I oughta go

B7sus4 B7    Em            D
Somewhere where everything is green
    C           D7sus4
Oo the change of scene
      G
Might do me good
B7sus4   B7
When the swallows go
     Em       D
When they leave Capistrano
       C         D7
Fly away so gracefully
    D7sus4       G
Maybe that's for me

Am    C          Am9      Em
Snowdrifts blowing up against my door
      C       Am9    Em
Going clear up to the roof
C       Em            A7
I could be lying on some sun-washed shore
       D7sus4                   D (10fr.)
Truth is, don't know what I'm waiting for

            G
Think I'm goin' south for the winter
It's getting mighty cold
I watch the fire glow
The moon shinin' 'cross the snow
Maybe Florida or Mexico
Is where I oughta go

G  Em    G     Em
South of the border
           G     Em
Think I'm goin' south
           G    Em
Get my life in order
          G     Em
Think I'm goin' south
     C      Dsus4
For the winter
         D7sus4      G.
It's gettin' mighty cold
