Am
There are some who can still remember
Dm
All the things that we used to do
Am
But the days of our youth were numbered
Dm
And the ones who survive it are few
G               C       F       G
Oh, I can still see the smiling faces

When the times were so good
G            C    F         F
All in the old familiar places
                   E
I'd go back if I could (to the)

 Am           Dm                                        G            Am
People of the south wind,(It's the people of the wind) people of the southern wind
         Dm        G
Yeah, I got to be there again

Am
Well, it's a hard thing to face the music:
 Dm
But it's something everybody has got to do
 Am
So I hope that I can always remember
 Dm
All the crazy times we had to go through
G         C         F          G
Now it's a dream that is slowly fading

And I don't want it to go
G      F                   G
All of the memories are evading
                 E
And I want you to know (it's the)

     Am              Dm                                  G
People of the south wind, (It's the people of the wind) people of the southern wind
Am            Dm     G
Ohh, I got to be there again

Guitar Solo

Am
Now we've traveled all across the oceans
 Dm
And we've seen what there is to see
 Am
But I guess it's not the proper solution
 Dm
Cause it's all about the same to me
 G           C         F        G
Now I look back and it makes me wonder

Why we just couldn't see
 G            F         G
All of the battles we fought and won there
                 E
And I wish that I could be with the

    Am              Dm                                  G
People of the south wind, (It's the people of the wind) people of the southern wind
Am            Dm     G
Ohh, I got to be there again

    Am              Dm                                      G
People of the south wind, (It's where we used to be free) people of the southern wind

Am            Dm     G
Ohh, I got to be there again


   Am              Dm                                       G
People of the south wind, (It's where we used to be free) people of the southern wind
Am            Dm     G
And that's the place for me
