G7M       G6              Gm       Gm7 
Pale moon shining on the fields below, 
D         DM7             E7      Bm9  Bb9 
Folks are crooning songs soft and low, 
Em7     G/B             A4/7 A7/13-   A7   G 
Needn't tell me so, beause   I   know  
             Gm         D 
It's sleepy time down south. 
G7M          G6              Gm       Gm7 
Softs winds blowing thru the pinewood trees, 
D         D7M           E7      Bm9   Bb9 
Folks down there live a life of ease; 
          Em7     G/B       A4/7  A7/13-   A7   G 
When the twilight brings the evening breeze, 
             Gm         D 
It's sleepy time down south.

Steamboats on the river, a-comin' and a-goin', splashing the night away 
F#                Bbm           B             C#7                           B                  C#7    A7 
Hear those banjos ringing, the folks are alla-singin' they dance till break of day. 
G7M         G6               Gm      Gm7 
Dear old Southland, with its dreamy songs, 
D         D7M            E7    Bm9   Bb9 
Takes me back there where I belong; 
Em7     G/B       A4/7 A7/13-   A7   G 
How I'd love to be mother's arms 
                  Gm         D 
When it's sleepy time down south. 
F#                Bbm      B          C#7                       C#7                 F# 
Steamboats on the river, a-comin' and a-goin', splashing the night away 
F#                Bbm           B             C#7                           B                  C#7    A7 
Hear those banjos ringing, the folks are alla-singin'  they dance till break of day. 
 G   G7M   G6                Gm9     Gm7 
Dear old Southland, with its dreamy songs, 
D     D9  D7M   D6  E7   Bm9   Bb9 
Takes me back where I belong; 
Em7     G/B       A4/7 A7/13-   A7   G 
How I'd love to be mother's arms 
            G     Gm         D    Bm7 
When it's sleepy time down south, 
           Em7   G/B A4/7    A7/13-  D6 
When it's sleepy      time  down south.
