[Verse 1]
[G]In [C]the[G][C][G]
[C]morning she [G]plays pian[C]o
[G]For [C]that is the love of [G]her [C]life
[G]Then [C]she rearr[G]anges her dol[C]l's house
Pre[G]tend[C]ing to [G]be like a wife
[C]The bir[G]ds are singing outside the window
[Dm]For another glorious d[F]ay
down [G]in [F]Georgi[G]a
Now there's [C]lots of
pretty girls [G]in Atlanta
[C]But [G]they [C]can't hold a candle [G]to you
[C]An [G]d t[C]her[G]e is like[C] as a
truck to [G]a c[C]anter
[G]You're a [C]bell that was
meant [G]to ring true
[C]Southern [G]belle, on your veranda
Southern [C]belle, how I love you
[G]Southern belle,
oh when will you grow up
Southern [C]belle, oh I'll wait for you
[G]Oh, you, [Dm]you, [G]you[C][G][C]
[G]Yeah, you, [F]you, [Dm]you[G][C][G][C]
Oh, [G]many years [C]have gone by
[G]since [C]I s[G]aw her
[C]I'm coming [G]home from [C]the war
[G]And I'm [C]wondering if [G]I'll ever find [C]her
[G]For [C]she is what I was fighting [G]for[C]
An[G]d the sight of the blue Bolton beer
And the [Dm]rain as it falls
on the [G]red earth of Georgia
Have you [C]seen her, have you seen [G]her,
have you [C]seen her?[G]
Oh, [C]I'm asking each [G]passerby
[C]And the sight of Atlan[G]ta in ru [C]ins
[G]Is [C]enough to make [G]a brave man c[C]ry
[G]Oh, gone are the glorious mansions
And [Dm]gone is the old way of [F]life
for old Georgia
[G]Oh, but [C]I'm heading on [G]to Califor[C]nia
An[G]d m[C]aybe my l[G]ove I'll find t[C]here
Maybe I'll learn [G]to for[C]get her
[G]But [C]all that I [G]feel is despair
[C]Gon[G]e are the glori
[D]ous man[G] si[D]ons[G]
Gone [Dm]is the old way of life
[F]for old Georgia[G]
There's [C]lots of pretty girls in [G]Atlanta
[C]But [G]the[C]y can't hold
a [G]candle to [C]you
[G]There is [C]like as a trot [G]to a [C]cantor
To [G]a b[C]ell that was m[G]eant to ring true
[C]Southern bel[G]l, on your veranda
Southern [C]bell, how I love you
South[G]ern bell,
when will you grow up
Southern [C]bell, oh I'll wait for you
Oh, [G]you, [G]you, you, [C]you[C]
You
[G][G]
