Capo: 3rd Fret
(verse 1)
                    D
I was sittin' there, sellin' turnips on a flatbed truck
  F#m
Crunchin' on a pork rind when she pulled up
   G
She had to be thinkin "this is
A                   Bm
where rednecks come from"
 
(verse 2)
D
She had Hollywood written on her license plate
F#m
She was lost and lookin for the interstate
G                   A
Needin' directions and I was the man for the job D
 
(chorus)
           G                    A
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
           G
There's a little country store with an (A)old coke sign
           G                  A
You gotta stop and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet (Bm) tea
      G                         A
Then a left will take you to the interstate 
      G             A (one strum)
And a right will bring you right back here to me (D)
 
(verse 1 chords)
                    D
I was sittin' there, thinkin 'bout her perty face
F#m
Kickin' myself for not catching her name
   G        A
I threw my hat and thought, you fool, it could have been (Bm)love
 
 
 
(verse 2)
                    D
I knew my old Ford couldn't run her down, 
F#m
she probably didn't like me anyhow
   G              A
So I watched her disappear into a cloud of dust (D)
 
(chorus)
           G                    A
I told her way up yonder past the caution light
           G
There's a little country store with an (A)old coke sign
           G                  A
You gotta stop and ask Miss Bell for some of her sweet (Bm) tea
      G                         A
Then a left will take you to the interstate 
      G             A (one strum)
And a right will bring you right back here to me (D)
 
(bridge)
        G                     A
Is this Georgia heat playin' tricks on me
     Bm                       A
Or am I really seein' what I think I see
   G               A
The woman of my dreams comin' back to me (Bm A G)
 
(chorus chords)
   G                                A
She went way up yonder past the caution light
   G                                A
Don't know why, but somethin' felt right
   G                            A
When she stopped and asked Ms. Bell 
For some of her sweet tea Bm
                        G
Mama gave her a big ol' glass and 
         A                 D
Sent her right back here to me
 
        G                 A
Thank God for good directions, and turnip greens (D)

With your bridge I add an A before transitioning into the chorus but otherwise love these chords!

Before “interstate” it’s an Em instead of an A
