Bus station in A[C]tlanta 6:40 in the evenin[C7]g
She was [F]standing cold and all [C]alone
I ask where she was going but [E7]she had no way of knowing
[D7]Cause she was broke and long way from [G7]home
[C]Straight from New York City she was [C7]young thin and pretty
[F]She belonged in a fashion maga[C]zine
I said [F]stay with me till morning
I've got a [C]bed to keep you [F]warm in
We [C]call it southern [G7]hospitali[C]ty
[G7]Lying in the stillness [F]there was no blue or [C]gray
[G7]Only sweet surrender in the [F]shadows where we [C]la--[G7]y
[F]She held me [G7]close and loved this [E7]southern boy just [C]right
And the [D7]north won the [G7]war again last [C]night
Morning's all around me my [C7]arms are all around her
She's [F]sleeping Lord and she looks so [C]fine
Between the shades of last night and [E7]this mornings daylight
[D7]We found love's Mason Dixon [G7]line
[C]And in her arms I found that [C7]love isn't north or south
It [F]isn't how you say the things you [C]say
New York [F]City or Atlanta [C]Cleveland or [F]Savanna
She's [C]taken all the [G7]boundaries [C]away
[G7]Lying in the stillness [F]there was no blue or [C]gray
[G7]Only sweet surrender in the [F]shadows where we [C]la--[G7]y
[F]She held me [G7]close and loved this [E7]southern boy just [C]right
