Chords

  D
I met her in Atlanta

          G
She was a-dancing in a cafe

       D
With a price tag on her body

                       A
And a tombstone in her eye

    D
You could tell she was not happy

       G
By the way she kept on staring

         D
Past the other side of nowhere

     A                 D
At a man she'd like to try.

        G
And the make-up she had painted
Could not hide the youthful motions
       D
Of her body
From the music or the crowd I stared like all others
        G
With my right hand in my pocket

          A
While she showed us

                   D
Everything the law allowed.
[Instrumental] D G A D X2
       D
Twenty bucks an hour later

   G
My one-bedroom apartment

      A
I was feelin? weak

                       D
From all the seeds I'd sown
She was sweet, she was gentle
       G
As she introduced my body

        D
To some pleasures
It had never ever known.
       G
When I woke up in the morning
She was a-laying there beside me
       D
Like a kitten

         A                  D
With her face turned to the sun
And a look of satisfaction
       G
On her lips that made me wonder

       A
If she ever felt ashamed

             D
Of what we'd done.

     D
So I left her in Atlanta

          G
She was a-dancing in cafe

       D
With a price tag on her body

             A
And a tomestone in her eye

      D
And I guess she still ain't happy

       G
By the way she keeps on staring

         D
Past the other side of nowhere.
