Capo 5th fret
G=32033, D=xx0232, Cadd9=x32033, Em=022000, D/F#=2x0232

   G		          Cadd9
If I'm not over you by the time I get to Georgia
G		     D
Then I guess I'll be Alabamba bound
G	    D/F#	     Em
There was a time when I'd do anything for you
D		  Cadd9		        G Cadd9, G Cadd9
But this time, baby,   I won't turn around

G				Cadd9
I always wanted to get married, and I thought you were the one
G				      Cadd9
But you never ever asked me and I was tired of hanging on
	    G		D/F#	     Em
You know a girl can only be let down so many times before she runs
D				     Cadd9		     G    Cadd9
And now this little bitty town's only got room for one of us, yeah

(same as above)
You always said I'd never leave, and if I did, I wouldn't go far
So I know how I must look with my tank of gas and beat-up heart
Well baby I'm gone for good, you can count on that
Yeah, I'm gonna keep headin' west until 
I'm too far gone to come back, yeah

CHORUS
       D		       Cadd9
And if I'm not over you by the time I get to Georgia
G			D    G
  Then I'll be Alabama bound
D			     Cadd9
There was a time when I'd do anything for you
G		   D		      G   Cadd9  G Cadd9
But this time baby, oh I won't turn around

I've only got ten miles to go before I cross the state line
I can feel my hands shakin' 
'Cause they usually turn the wheel around about this time
I heard that same old voice inside, I had to drown it out
So I found me a radio station playing something fast 
And I turned it up real loud

CHORUS

G Cadd9 G Cadd9

D			    Cadd9(stop)		  Cadd9
There was a time when I'd do       anything for you
G		    D			 G   Cadd9
But this time, baby, oh I won't turn around
	           G	D
No I won't turn around

(like verse)
If I'm not over by Georgia, then I'll head to Alabamba
Roll on Mississippi or maybe Louisiana
I'll drive all the way to California
D		  Cadd9
Oh I won't turn around
		 G 
I won't turn around
		 Cadd9
I won't turn around

(repeat to end)
