 Bm          A                       G           D/F# 
I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana 
    A                     D                G                  A 
And though I'm out on the highway, my thoughts are still with her 
 Bm            A                G           D/F# 
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child 
 A                D               G              A                   D 
Such a strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles, callin' Baton Rouge
[Strophe]
  Bm             A              G               D/F# 
A replay of last night's events roll through my mind 
 A         D             G                 A 
Except a scene or two, erased by sweet red wine 
      Bm     A              G                 D/F# 
And I see a truck stop sign ahead so I change lanes 
  A             D            G              A                     D 
I need a cup of coffee and a couple dollars change, callin' Baton Rouge
[Refrain]
 D 
Operator won't you put me on through 
        D 
I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge 
 D 
Hurry up won't you put her on the line 
        D 
I gotta talk to the girl just one more time
[Solo]

D     D/C#             D/B                 D/A  D/B  D/C# D 
Hello Samantha dear, I hope you're feelin' fine 
       D        D/C#           D/B              D/A  D/B D/C# 
And it won't be long until I'm with you all the time 
          G                  A               D                G A 
But until then I'll spend my money up, right down to my last dime 
              D 
Callin' Baton Rouge
[Refrain]
D 
Operator won't you put me on through 
  
I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge 
D 
Hurry up won't you put her on the line 
  
I gotta talk to the girl just one more time

   Call-in' Baton Rouge 
             G D/F#  Em D/F# G 
Sweet Baton Rouge 
   A      D D/C# D/B    D/A 
My Baton Rouge    (whoa-oh..) 
G  D/F#  Em D/F# G  A  D
