1. The boom time it is over
Hmi D
A ghost town is all that's left here
A C#mi
The gold rush it is over
Hmi D E
And depression days draw near
A C#mi
Tonight after sundown
Hmi D
I'm going to pack my case
A C#mi
I leave without a sound
Hmi D E
Disappear without a trace
A F#mi D Hmi E
R: Oooo I'm going southbound,
Oooo I'm going southbound
A C#mi Hmi D A C#mi Hmi D
2. Drifting like a drover
Chasing my career
From the ships docked in the harbour
New horizons will appear
Tumbling with the tumbleweed
Down the open road
Taking only what I need
Before my head explodes
R: Oooo I'm going southbound...
A C#mi Hmi D A C#mi Hmi D
R: Oooo I'm going southbound...
3. Hey, you're not getting any younger
The wild west has already been won
Northern lights are growing colder
And the old eastern ways are gone
So tonight after sundown
You must go from this place
Without a tear, without a frown
Disappear without a trace
R: Oooo I'm going southbound...
