Capo 5th fret
G=32033, D=xx0232, Cadd9=x32033, Em=022000, D/F#=2x0232
G Cadd9
If I'm not over you by the time I get to Georgia
G D
Then I guess I'll be Alabamba bound
G D/F# Em
There was a time when I'd do anything for you
D Cadd9 G Cadd9, G Cadd9
But this time, baby, I won't turn around
G Cadd9
I always wanted to get married, and I thought you were the one
G Cadd9
But you never ever asked me and I was tired of hanging on
G D/F# Em
You know a girl can only be let down so many times before she runs
D Cadd9 G Cadd9
And now this little bitty town's only got room for one of us, yeah
(same as above)
You always said I'd never leave, and if I did, I wouldn't go far
So I know how I must look with my tank of gas and beat-up heart
Well baby I'm gone for good, you can count on that
Yeah, I'm gonna keep headin' west until
I'm too far gone to come back, yeah
CHORUS
D Cadd9
And if I'm not over you by the time I get to Georgia
G D G
Then I'll be Alabama bound
D Cadd9
There was a time when I'd do anything for you
G D G Cadd9 G Cadd9
But this time baby, oh I won't turn around
I've only got ten miles to go before I cross the state line
I can feel my hands shakin'
'Cause they usually turn the wheel around about this time
I heard that same old voice inside, I had to drown it out
So I found me a radio station playing something fast
And I turned it up real loud
CHORUS
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
D Cadd9(stop) Cadd9
There was a time when I'd do anything for you
G D G Cadd9
But this time, baby, oh I won't turn around
G D
No I won't turn around
(like verse)
If I'm not over by Georgia, then I'll head to Alabamba
Roll on Mississippi or maybe Louisiana
I'll drive all the way to California
D Cadd9
Oh I won't turn around
G
I won't turn around
Cadd9
I won't turn around
(repeat to end)
