[Intro]
|G      D|C      |G      D|C      |
|G      D|C      |G      D|C      |
 
 
[Verse 1]
G                    D    C         G                    D    C
Up all night I could not sleep, the whiskey that I drank was cheap
     G                          C                  D   D/C  D/B  Am
With shakin' hands I went and I lit up my last cigarette
         G                   D    C         G                    D    C
Well the sun came, the night had fled, and sleepy-eyed I reached my bed
  G                        C                    G    C   G
I saw you sleepy dreaming there all covered and warm
 
 
[Chorus]
C                   Bm        Bb           Am
South city midnight lady, I'm much obliged indeed
    C                    Bm        Am          G    C   G
You sure have saved this man who's soul was in need
  C                    Bm          Bb                 Am
I thought there was no reason, for all these things I do
        C                 Bm    Am          G
But the smile that I sent out returned with you
 
 
[Verse 2]
     G                      D  C         G                  D  C
When day has left the night behind, and shadows roll across my mind
  G                      C                        D   D/C  D/B  Am
I sometimes find myself alone and out walking the street
         G                    D   C          G           D        C
Yes and when I'm feelin' down and blue, then all I do is think of you
    G                       C            G    C   G
And all my foolish problems seem to fade away
 
 
[Chorus]
C                   Bm        Bb           Am
South city midnight lady, I'm much obliged indeed
    C                    Bm        Am          G    C   G
You sure have saved this man who's soul was in need
  C                    Bm          Bb                 Am
I thought there was no reason, for all these things I do
        C                 Bm    Am          G
But the smile that I sent out returned with you
