        A     C#m              D  Bm
Opening night,  nothing new Atlanta
           A                 C#m
Into the spotlight, one more time
                  D  Bm
Just in time to play
   A            C#m
To one man at an empty table
         D       C#m7    Bm7
He was drinking down the pain
             Bm7     C#m7        D6
All he could say was his lady's name

A     E                 D          Bm
Oh Camellia, won't you take me away
A     E                 D          Bm
Oh Camellia, won't you take me away

After the show, when the room was empty
No, he wouldn't go
So I asked him why he called her name
It seems she was some magic one night
With something for his pain
But all she left was a pretty name...

Chorus:
A     E                 D
Oh Camellia, won't you take me away
   Bm                 A/C#
To paradise tropical moon
           C#m                        D   Bm E
Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta - x2
