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

F            G   Dm Em Am
