Garth Brooks - Callin Baton Rouge



Intro -  D

(verse 1)
Bm           A                      G             D
I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana
    A                     D          G                       A 
And though I'm out on the highway my thoughts are still with her
Bm             A                G           D
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child 
A              D                  G                   A             D
such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles callin' Baton Rouge


(verse 2)
A replay of last night's events roll through my mind
Except a scene or two erased by sweet red wine
And I see a truck stop sign ahead so I change lanes
I need a cup of coffee and a couple dollars change callin' Baton Rouge


(chorus)
D                                     
Operator won't you put me on through,

I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge,
D                                     
Hurry up won't you put her on the line, 
                                        G
I gotta talk to the girl just one more time


Solo : G - A - G  - A


(bridge)     
D              D7M/E    Bm                  A  (A - Bm - D7M/E - walk)
Hello SBmantha dear, I hope you're feelin' fine
D               D7M/E      Bm               A
And it won't be long until I'm with you all the time
          G                  A              D                G 
But until then I'll spend my money up right down to my last dime 
      A               D
Oh oh oh in Baton Rouge,



((chorus)
D                                     
Operator won't you put me on through,

I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge,
D                                     
Hurry up won't you put her on the line, 
                                        G
I gotta talk to the girl just one more time
      A             D - D7M/E - Bm - A
Oh oh oh in Baton Rouge, 
              G - Bm - E - Bm - G - A
Sweet Baton Rouge, 
             D - D7M/E - Bm - A
My Baton Rouge,  hey hey hey hey
