Callin Baton Rouge

[D]

[Bm]I spent last [A]night in the arms of a
[G]girl in Louisian[D]a
[A]And though I'm out on t[D]he highway
my th[G]oughts are still with [A]her

Such a strange combination of a
woman and a child
Such a strange situation stoppin'
every hundred miles callin' Baton Rouge

(then play D for the fiddle part)

D (play D all the way through)
Operator, won't you put on through?
I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge
Hurry up, won't you put her on the line?
I gotta talk to the girl just one more time.

[G]     [A]
[G]     [A]

[D]Hello, Sam[A]antha dear,
I [Bm]hope you're feelin [Asus4]fine
[D]And it won't be l[A]ong until
I'm [Bm]with you all the [Asus4]time, but until
[G]then I'll spend my [A]money up
right [D]down to my last [G]dime,
call-[A]in Baton Rouge

(then play D again over fiddle part)

(then back to chorus: "Operator..."

[Ending]
[G]Call-[A]in Baton Rouge
[D]     [A]     [Bm]     [Asus4]Sweet Baton Rouge
[G]     [D]     [Em]   [D]  [G]My[A] Bato[Bm]n Rouge
[G]woah.[D].... [Em]       [D]
[Em]  [D]  [G]  [A]  [D]
