Biography:
The Flatlanders is an American country band from Lubbock, Texas, founded in 1972 by Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock.
The fact that all that these Texas music titans, on their first go-round as The Flatlanders in 1972, were completely rejected by the country music establishment is surprising in retrospect but, ultimately, poetic. That each went on to have formidable solo careers is a testament to their talent and determination. Add to this their diverse yet complimentary styles - Joe the street-wise rocker

South Wind of Summer by The Flatlanders
(Joe Ely, Butch Hancock, Jimmie Dale Gilmore)
Slow waltz type flavour (texas style)
A G A
A C G
When the south wind of summer
D
Sings through the trees
A G
And the high mountain thunder
D
Hangs low in the breeze
F#m Bm G
A strong heart flows over, an empty heart fills
D G D
And the south wind of summer caresses the hills
Bm D
There is no returning, the seasons don?t end
F#m G
They just blow through the branches
A
And bend with the wind
C G D
When the south wind of summer sings to the pines
A G D
And the faraway cities seem so close behind
F#m Bm G
A strong heart flows over, an empty heart fills
D G
And the south wind of summer
D
Blows where it wills
Bm D
There is no returning, the seasons don?t end
F#m
They just blow through the branches
A
And bend with the wind
