Verse 1
G 
C 
G 
C 
G 
In the
C 
G 
C 
morning she plays piano
G 
C 
G 
C 
For that is the love of her life
G 
C 
G 
C 
Then she rearranges her doll's house
G 
C 
G 
Pretending to be like a wife
C 
G 
The birds are singing outside the window
Dm 
F 
For another glorious day
G 
F 
G 
down in Georgia
C 
Now there's lots of
G 
pretty girls in Atlanta
C 
G 
C 
G 
But they can't hold a candle to you
C 
G 
C 
G 
C 
And  there is like as a
G 
C 
truck to a  canter
G 
C 
You're a bell that was
G 
meant to ring true
C 
G 
Southern belle, on your veranda
C 
Southern belle, how I love you
G 
Southern belle,
oh when will you grow up
C 
Southern belle, oh I'll wait for you
G 
Dm 
G 
C 
G 
C 
Oh, you, you, you
G 
F 
Dm 
G 
C 
G 
C 
Yeah, you, you, you
G 
C 
Oh, many years have gone by
G 
C 
G 
since I  saw her
C 
G 
C 
I'm coming home from the war
G 
C 
G 
C 
And I'm wondering if I'll ever find her
G 
C 
G 
C 
For she is what I was fighting for
G 
And the sight of the blue Bolton beer
Dm 
And the rain as it falls
G 
on the red earth of Georgia
C 
G 
Have you seen her, have you seen her,
C 
G 
have you seen her?
C 
G 
Oh, I'm asking each passerby
C 
G 
C 
And the sight of Atlanta in ru ins
G 
C 
G 
C 
Is enough to make a  brave man cry
G 
Oh, gone are the glorious mansions
Dm 
F 
And gone is the old way of life
for old Georgia
G 
C 
G 
C 
Oh, but I'm heading on to California
G 
C 
G 
C 
And maybe my love I'll find there
G 
C 
Maybe I'll learn to forget her
G 
C 
G 
But all that I feel is despair
C 
G 
Gone are the glori
D 
G 
D 
G 
ous mansions
Dm 
Gone is  the old way of life
F 
G 
for old Georgia
C 
G 
There's lots of pretty girls in Atlanta
C 
G 
C 
But they can't hold
G 
C 
a candle to you
G 
C 
G 
C 
There is like as a trot to a cantor
G 
C 
G 
To a  bell that was meant to ring true
C 
G 
Southern bell, on your veranda
C 
Southern bell, how I love you
G 
Southern bell,
when will you grow up
C 
Southern bell, oh I'll wait for you
G 
G 
C 
C 
Oh, you, you, you, you
You
