Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Bm: 799777 (sometimes he plays 797779)
 ... Though, for most of those chords, the standard shapes sound fine, too. Also, the D6 can be substituted with a standard D and still sound good. (Personally, I like substituting a Dmaj7, played like this: xx0222.)
 Opening night,  nothing new Atlanta
 Into the spotlight,  one more time
 Just in time to play
 To one  man at an empty  table
 He was drinking down  the pain
 All he could say  was his  lady's name
Oh  Camellia,  won't you take  me away
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 her pretty name...
Oh  Camellia,  won't you take  me away
 To paradise  tropical moon
 Don't you leave  me sitting here in Atlanta
 Repeat chorus until the end!
