Bus station in Atlanta 6:40 in the evening 

        F                     C 
She was standing cold and all alone 

                              E7 
I ask where she was going but she had no way of knowing 

D7                                    G7 
Cause she was broke and long way from home 


C                                   C7 
Straight from New York City she was young thin and pretty 

F                             C 
She belonged in a fashion magazine 

       F 
I said stay with me till morning  

           C               F 
I've got a bed to keep you warm in 

   C                G7       C 
We call it southern hospitality 
  

G7                     F                    C 
Lying in the stillness there was no blue or gray 

G7                          F                C   G7 
Only sweet surrender in the shadows where we la--y 

F           G7                   E7                C 
She held me close and loved this southern boy just right 

        D7            G7             C 
And the north won the war again last night 


                           C7 
Morning's all around me my arms are all around her 

      F                              C 
She's sleeping Lord and she looks so fine 

                                     E7 
Between the shades of last night and this mornings daylight 

D7                          G7 
We found love's Mason Dixon line 
  

C                            C7 
And in her arms I found that love isn't north or south 
   
   F                                C 
It isn't how you say the things you say 

         F               C            F 
New York City or Atlanta Cleveland or Savanna 
  
      C             G7         C 
She's taken all the boundaries away 


G7                     F                    C 
Lying in the stillness there was no blue or gray 

G7                          F                C   G7 
Only sweet surrender in the shadows where we la--y 

F           G7                   E7                C 
She held me close and loved this southern boy just right 

        D7            G7             C 
And the north won the war again last night
