Cal Smith - The North Won the War Again Last Night

      
 
                 C                        C7 
 Bus station in Atlanta 6:40 in the evening
 
         F                     C    
 She was standing cold and all alone
 
                               E7                       
 I ask where she was going but she had no way of knowing
 
 D7                                    G7  
 Cause she was broke and long way from home
 
 C                                   C7                   
 Straight from New York City she was young thin and pretty
 
 F                             C   
 She belonged in a fashion magazine
 
        F                        
 I said stay with me till morning
 
            C               F      
 I've got a bed to keep you warm in
 
    C                G7       C 
 We call it southern hospitality
 
 G7                     F                    C   
 Lying in the stillness there was no blue or gray
 
 G7                          F                C   G7 
 Only sweet surrender in the shadows where we la--y
 
 F           G7                   E7                C    
 She held me close and loved this southern boy just right
 
         D7            G7             C    
 And the north won the war again last night
 
                            C7                     
 Morning's all around me my arms are all around her
 
       F                              C   
 She's sleeping Lord and she looks so fine
 
                                      E7                    
 Between the shades of last night and this mornings daylight
 
 D7                          G7  
 We found love's Mason Dixon line
 
 C                            C7                       
 And in her arms I found that love isn't north or south
 
    F                                C  
 It isn't how you say the things you say
 
          F               C            F      
 New York City or Atlanta Cleveland or Savanna
 
       C             G7         C   
 She's taken all the boundaries away
 
 G7                     F                    C   
 Lying in the stillness there was no blue or gray
 
 G7                          F                C   G7 
 Only sweet surrender in the shadows where we la--y
 
 F           G7                   E7                C    
 She held me close and loved this southern boy just right
 
         D7            G7             C    
 And the north won the war again last night
