[Verse 1]
G                                  C   C
  If she knew that I was here with you
G                                     C        C
  There ain't no doubt about what she would do
F                           G7            C   C
  So let's get dressed and I'll be on my way
    F               G
You knew that I was passing through
                 C
I never meant to stay

[Chorus]
      G                           F    C
And I think I'd better go back to Atlanta
  Am                 E7              F   F
Before my conscience makes a fool of me
                    Dm             C                  F
I never should have stepped across love's Mason Dixon line
      C                  G          F    C
And I think it's time to go back to Atlanta

[Verse 2]
G                              C
  I've been on the road a long long time
G                                 C     C
  She was out of sight and out of mind
F                     G7               C     C
  But she still wears my ring upon her hand
F                  G
  All that I could be to you
                    C
Is just a one-night stand

[Chorus]
      G                           F    C
And I think I'd better go back to Atlanta
  Am                 E7              F   F
Before my conscience makes a fool of me
                    Dm             C                  F
I never should have stepped across love's Mason Dixon line
      C                  G          F    C
And I think it's time to go back to Atlanta

[Outro]
      G                           F    C
Yes I think I'd better go back to Atlanta
      G                          F    C
Yes I know I'd better go back to Atlanta
