[C] [Dm] [Gm]
[C] [G] [C] On a Greyhound bus trip home I was feeling all alone
[Dm] When a long-haired [C] gal sat [G] down next to me
She [C] said she was Atlanta-bound Kill some time, maybe kick around
[Dm] Cause it sounded [G] like a friendly [C] place to [F] be
[C] From [E] Chicago to [A] Kentucky We [E] just talked a [B] while
[E] And somewhere in [A] between there I [E] was [Dm] captured by [G] her smile
But while [C] I left the bus [Dm] in Nashville's [Eb] bit of mystery
Till [G] today, [F] cause for two years I've [C] been tracking down
That [Dm] Atlanta, [C] Georgia stray [F] Atlanta, [C] Georgia stray
[Em]
[G]
Why, [C] she said, oh living things Have a secret pair of wings
And [Dm] I'm of the lucky [C] ones who've learned [G] to fly
Though I [C] don't even know your name I [Em] can tell we're much [C] the same
[Dm] Cause you've got that [G] faraway look in [C] your eye
Well, [E] life that I knew [Gbm] I found what I've [E] been searching for
And by the tears that [A] filled her eyes she felt [E] the same
[Dm] I'm [G] almost sure
But [C] while I left the bus [Dm] in Nashville's [Eb] bit of mystery
[G] Till today, [F] cause for two years [C] I've been tracking down
[G] That Atlanta, [C] Georgia stray [F] Atlanta, [C] Georgia stray
[Em] [G]
[Dm] [G] [C] Well, I'm flat broke once again I haven't eaten in God knows when
[Dm] And the weather [C] is a-showing [G] signs of rain
I [C] gotta make it into town Hit [Em] the clubs and ask around
[C] Even [G] though the answer's all will be [C] the same
Well, I [E] walked a mile [A] for [E] everyone I've spoken to
And up to now [A] I haven't [E] come across [Dm] a single [G] clue
Cause when I [C] left the bus [F] in Nashville, why, [Eb] it was my [G] fateful day
Cause [F] for two years I've [C] been tracking down
That [Dm] Atlanta, [C] Georgia stray [F] Atlanta, [C] Georgia stray
[Gm] Atlanta, Georgia [C] stray
