Camellia chords by Hall And Oates

Chords with lyrics

precise to the studio recording, but it's darn close.

Here are the shapes John uses:

EADGBE

A: x02220
E: 476454
D: 557775
D6: 557777
Bm: 799777 (sometimes he plays 797779)
Bm7: x24232
C#m7: x46454
F#m: 244222

... Though, for most of those chords, the standard shapes sound fine, too. Also, the D6D6 can be substituted with a standard D MajorD and still sound good. (Personally, I like substituting a Dmaj7, played like this: xx0222.)

Intro:

A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD B minorBm C#m7C#m7 D MajorD

    A augmentedA   E MajorE       D MajorD  B minorBm
Opening night, nothing new Atlanta
     A augmentedA          E MajorE
Into the spotlight, one more time
        D MajorD  B minorBm
Just in time to play
  A augmentedA       E MajorE
To one man at an empty table
    D MajorD    C#m7C#m7   Bm7Bm7
He was drinking down the pain
       Bm7Bm7   C#m7C#m7    D6D6
All he could say was his lady's name

A augmentedA   E MajorE        D MajorD     B minorBm
Oh Camellia, won't you take me away

A augmentedA   E MajorE        D MajorD     B minorBm
Oh Camellia, won't you take me away

     A augmentedA   E MajorE         D MajorD  B minorBm
After the show, when the room was empty
No, he wouldn't go
So I asked him why he called her name
It seems she was some magic one night
   D MajorD     C#m7C#m7  Bm7Bm7
With something for his pain
      Bm7Bm7     C#m7C#m7  D6D6
But all she left was her pretty name...

A augmentedA   E MajorE        D MajorD
Oh Camellia, won't you take me away
  B minorBm        C#m7C#m7
To paradise tropical moon
      F# minorF#m           Bm7Bm7   D MajorD
Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta
