Why I Left Atlanta

	  		
Intro: G (x4) 

Verse 
G 
Headin' west on twenty, just past Birmingham 
G                                D               G 
Not sure where I'm going, I just can't turn back again 
G                                    G 
And I got headlights on the highway, I gotta heart that's away back home 
      D                           C                 G 
And a picture of a life I lost to remind me why I'm gone 
 
G          C D        G 
And that's why I left Atlanta 
C                 D             G 
I drove away in a early mornin' haze 
G          C D        E     C 
Yes that's why I left Atlanta 
G              D                G 
Me and Georgia seen our better days
 

Verse 
G 
Settled outside the city, and bought a house and a little land 
G                                D               G 
Built our hopes on dreamin', til those dreams got out of hand 
G                                    G 
And I was after something, I could never be 
      D                           C                 G 
I guess she finally grew too tired of waitin' 'round on me 

G          C D        G 
And that's why I left Atlanta 
C                 D             G 
I drove away in a early mornin' haze 
G          C D        E     C 
Yes that's why I left Atlanta 
G              D                G 
Me and Georgia seen our better days
 

Bridge 
E                                       D 
I wish you could've held on a little longer 
E                                    D 
I wish I could've been a little stronger 

Verse 
G 
God knows things don't always, work out like you plan 
G                                D               G 
Well I could, tell you my story, I just don't know how it will end 
G                                    G 
So I'll keep right on drivin' till I, run out of gas 
      D                           C                 G 
And start again where I end up ain't no use in lookin' back
