[Dmaj7]        [Cmaj7]      [D]   

[D]Hov'rin by [G]my suitcase, trying to find a warm place to
[D]spend the night.
[D]Heavy rai[G]n a falling, Seems I hear your voice calling
[D]it's alright.

{c:Chorus:}
[Bm7]A rain[F#m7]y night i[Bm7]n Georgia, A ra[F#m7]iny night in Georgia, I believe it's
[Em]raining all [G]over the [D]worl[Cmaj7]d.         

Play this after 2nd, 3rd verse:

[Cmaj7]How many times I've [Dmaj7]wondered,[Cmaj7] it still co[Dmaj7]mes out the same. No
[Em7]matter how you [D]look at it, [Em7]think of it, you
[G]just got to [F#m7]do    [Em7]your [Dmaj7]own thing. [Cmaj7]     

2. Neon signs a-flashing
   Taxicabs and buses passing through the night.
   The distant moaning of a train,
   seems to play a sad refrain to the night.
        
{c:Chorus}

3. I find me a place in a box car,
   so I take out my guitar to pass some time.
   Late at night when it's hard to rest,
   I hold your picture to my chest and I'm alright.

{c:Chorus}

[A]Before you go and walk [A/G#]out on me
[G]take a look ar[A]ound and tell me [D]what you see
[A]Here I stand like an [A/G#]open book
[G]is there something [A]here you might have [D]overlooked
'Cause it would be a [E]shame if you [A]leave
and find that [D]freedom ain't what [E]you thought it would [A]be

[A]The years we had were [A/G#]not all bad
[G]in fact I know the [A]good outweighed the [D]bad
But [A]now you say that [A/G#]you've grown tired
and you [G]want to be [A]by yourself a [D]while
But it would be a [E]shame if you [A]go 
and find that [D]freedom was a [E]long time [A]ago

I [D]know that you can't [E]stand for chains to [A]bind you
if [D]they just [E]keep on [A]driving us apart
and [D]you could go where [E]I would never [A]find you
but could [E]you go far en[F#m]ough to [D]get away from your [E]heart

So [A]one more time for [A/G#]old times sake
[G]come and lay your [A]head upon my [D]chest
[A]please don't throw this [A/G#]moment away
[G]we can forget the [A]bad and take the [D]best
but if you don't have [E]nothing left to [A]say 
let me [D]hold you one more [E]time for old times [A]sake
and [D]if you don't have [E]nothing left to [A]say 
let me [D]hold you one more [E]time for old times [A]sake

I was [E]thinking 'bout parking the other night
[G] we was [A]out on a [E]back road
[E]me and my woman was just gettin' right
all [G]systems on [A]over[E]load
[E]Radio blastin' in the front seat
[G]turning out the [A]music [E]fine
[E]we was snuggled up in the back seat
[G]making up for [A]lost [E]time

{soc}
[E]Steamy windows, zer[G]o visi[A]bilit[E]y
[E]Steamy windows, [G]coming from the [A]body [E]heat
{eoc}

You can [E]wine and dine with a woman all night
[G] with [A]good in[E]tent
but there's [E]something about a confrontation on a back road
[G]  breaks [A]down the [E]defense

{c: Chorus}

{c: Solo over verse progression}

There's a [E]sound outside the front door
and I [G]know it's [A]just the [E]wind
but it [E]makes her snuggle up just a little bit closer
and it [G]starts things [A]happening a[E]gain

[E]Steamy windows, [G]ain't no[A]body can [E]see
Steamy windows, coming from the body heat
Steamy windows, zero visibility
Steamy windows, coming from the body heat
Steamy [E]windows, steamy [E]windows
