David Allan Coe - Atlanta Song
Capo 1

 D MajorD
I met her in Atlanta
     G+G
She was a-dancing in a cafe
    D MajorD
With a price tag on her body
            A augmentedA
And a tombstone in her eye
  D MajorD
You could tell she was not happy
    G+G
By the way she kept on staring
     D MajorD
Past the other side of nowhere
   A augmentedA         D MajorD
At a man she'd like to try.

    G+G
And the make-up she had painted
Could not hide the youthful motions
    D MajorD
Of her body
From the music or the crowd
I stared like all others
    G+G
With my right hand in my pocket
     A augmentedA
While she showed us
          D MajorD
Everything the law allowed.

Instrumental:
D MajorD G+G A augmentedA D MajorD X2

    D MajorD
Twenty bucks an hour later
  G+G
My one-bedroom apartment
   A augmentedA
I was feelin? weak
            D MajorD
From all the seeds I'd sown
She was sweet, she was gentle
    G+G
As she introduced my body
    D MajorD
To some pleasures
It had never ever known.

    G+G
When I woke up in the morning
She was a-laying there beside me
    D MajorD
Like a kitten
     A augmentedA         D MajorD
With her face turned to the sun
And a look of satisfaction
    G+G
On her lips that made me wonder
    A augmentedA
If she ever felt ashamed
       D MajorD
Of what we'd done.

   D MajorD
So I left her in Atlanta
     G+G
She was a-dancing in cafe
    D MajorD
With a price tag on her body
       A augmentedA
And a tomestone in her eye
   D MajorD
And I guess she still ain't happy
    G+G
By the way she keeps on staring
     D MajorD
Past the other side of nowhere.
