VERSE:
 Am                  F
Starin` through a spiderweb where the windshield used to be
 G                 E
What`s left of the dashboard, the smell of gasoline
    Am              F
I can just make out one neon light south off through the trees
  G                E
My feet took over walkin` `fore my mind caught up with me
 F                 Am
When I walked in my tab was already open
   F                   E
My drink was poured and my cigarette was smokin`


CHORUS:
 E       Dm     Em
Somebody said `Hey girl, where you been?
    Am
Doncha know I been waitin` for ya?
    Dm         Em
`Got a band up there been dyin` to play a little
 Am
`Devil Went Down to Georgia`
 Dm         Em          Am    F
`Rest that trav`lin` soul, looks like the road was long
 Em           Am  F G Dm Em
`Welcome to Southern Babylon`


VERSE:
    Am            F
Had to pull myself together and ask to use the phone
   G
The waitress smiled a wicked grin,
      E
It sent a chill right through my bone
      Am
I said `I need to call the tow-truck,
   F
Some way to move along`
      G
She said, `Who you wanna call
         E
Now that you`ve been called home?`


CHORUS:
 E    Dm     Em
She said `Hey girl, where you been?
    Am
Doncha know I been waitin` for ya?
      Dm         Em           Am
`You got a band up there just dyin` to play a little `Hotel California`
   Dm       Em           Am
`And maybe it`s not sinkin` in, but you`ll learn to play along
         F
`Honey, you been gone
   Em             Am  F G Dm Em  Am F G Dm Em
Since you walked into Southern Babylon`


VERSE:
   Am              F
`I`m not supposed to be here, bartender don`t you see?
      G              E
`I took a gig down in Atlanta and the brakes gave out on me`
      Am              F
She said, `We know all about ya. It`s a little bit too late`
   G           E       E E E
She handed me a guitar and pointed to the fla-a-ames


CHORUS:
       G
`Hey girl, where you been?
    Am
Doncha know I been waitin` for ya?
      Dm         Em
`You got a band up there just dyin` to play a little
 Am
`Devil Went Down to Georgia`
 Dm          Em          Am    F
`Rest that trav`lin` soul, looks like the road was long
 E           Am  F
`Welcome to Southern Babylon`
       G
Southern Babylon
Dm     E     Am

F      G  Dm Em Am
