You sit out there in the cov er ing,
in the box, kings of the ho ly night.
And I was lu cid and con scious
and hov er ing like a fi re fly.
I’m ly ing stretched out on the ca no py.
He put his arms out slow.
And I heard the whis pers of si lence
float ing down from the ra di o.
So (F)come on, come on I’m read y now.
I got the feel ing hon ey like I’m read y to roll.
You see I’m not gon na wait till the end ing
’cause I got the burn ing fi re in there, in my soul.
I saw the light from a ket tle gun,
six teen days un der a south ern sun.
there were times when I thought that
I would n’t mind if I lost my mind out there.
You would n’t be lieve if I told you so.
The things I saw e nough
to make the man in me man ly,
make him man ly.
Go get your things out let’s get
Oh, I can feel the wave com ing o ver me.
I’ve been wait ing for this day too long just to let it all go.
As a child I was won der eyed
at the thought that I might know
a life in the ec sta sy of rock ’n’ roll.
Not tak ing it (F)slow.
I’m an ar row in a bow.
You’d think that I would (G)know
what it is that makes you go...
So (F)come on, come on I’m read y now.
I got the feel ing hon ey like I’m read y to roll.
You see I’m not gon na wait till the end
’cause I got the burn ing fi re in there, in my soul.

About “Southern Sun”
- Why does the accompaniment for "Southern Sun" show falling notes?
- Falling Notes makes each chord visual — colored notes drop onto the keyboard so you can FEEL the rhythm of the backing before each entry. Singers find it easier to lock in with the piano's groove when they see the chord notes land instead of just hearing them.
- What key is the piano accompaniment for "Southern Sun" by Boy And Bear in?
- The backing track is in C at 118 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
- Can I sing over "Southern Sun" with this accompaniment?
- Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
- Is this a karaoke version of "Southern Sun"?
- Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Southern Sun", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
- Can I use "Southern Sun" as a backing track for my instrument?
- Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
- Can I download the accompaniment for "Southern Sun"?
- Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
