[Verse 1]
[G][Ab][G]
[Ab]Oh, [G]won't you listen,
all you people on the southbound
train?
Oh, won't you listen
to my friendly advice?
[Ab]About a [G]quarter after seven
we'll be pulling into [Bbm]paradis[G]e.[E]
[G]When you see land,
out of the window of a train,
[Ab]kinda [Fm]green [E]and grassy,
[A]how in the [E]world can [G]you [A]complain?
[E]Be neath [G]the moon,
you oughta [Fm]see the w[G]ay it [Eb]shines,
[G]bright beyond compare,
[Ab]the way it shine[G]s upon the pines,
And when you hear blue jays
chirping high and [Fm]sassy
[G]And cat[Ab]ch one[Fm] sniff
[G]of southern cooking
[A]hanging [G]on the evening air
Supper's waiting on the table
when you see food
[Ab]Hav ing [G]their after -dinner chat,
[Ab]all polite and[E] c[G]lassy,
gentlemen [E]all re[G]move their [A]hats,
[G]and [E]every [G]smile,
perfect harmony indeed,
bid you stay and rest,
and the porter you're the least,
get off that train,
sit down and rest your chest,
you're in Tallahassee,
The capital city of Florida
[Ab]an d the S[Bbm]outh l[G]and at its best.
For Dixie at [Ab]its very best.[G][Ab][G]
When you see [Ab]folks
Having their [G]after dinner chats
All polite [Fm]an d cl[G]assy
[A]Gentlemen [E]all remove [G]their [A]hats
[E]And every [G]smile
Perfect harmony [Bbm]and pe[G]ace
Did you stay [Ab]and rest
[G]And the poor heard your belief[Ab]s
Get off [G]that tree
Sit down and rest your chest
In your entire Mahassey
The capital [G]city of Florida
[Ab]Endless [Bbm]love, [Ab]an d[Cm] it's[G] bad,[Eb][G]
but it's the end, [Ab]it's very bad.
