Camellia

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 D6 can be substituted with a standard D and still sound good. (Personally, I like substituting a Dmaj7, played like this: xx0222.) Intro: A E D Bm C#m7 D

A E D Bm Opening night, nothing new Atlanta A E Into the spotlight, one more time D Bm Just in time to play A E To one man at an empty table D C#m7 Bm7 He was drinking down the pain Bm7 C#m7 D6 All he could say was his lady's name A E D Bm Oh Camellia, won't you take me away A E D Bm Oh Camellia, won't you take me away A E D Bm 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 C#m7 Bm7 With something for his pain Bm7 C#m7 D6 But all she left was her pretty name... A E D Oh Camellia, won't you take me away Bm C#m7 To paradise tropical moon F#m Bm7 D Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta
