 "Vidalia" performed by Sammy Kershaw
 Written by Tim Nichols
 From the album "Politics Religion and Her"
 Transcribed by Brian Ophoff
 Note: Once you get the strum pattern down, try squeezing and releasing the
 chords or throwing in a suspended here and there.  The cd sounds like its in
 A, but I can sing it better in G by substituting  A,D,E with G,C,D.
 
 Intro:  A(4counts) D(3counts) A(1count)  2 times
 A
 Aint nothin so precious as a first born child
                D
 A
 What to call their little angel, they wondered for a while
 A
 Your dear mama Violet and your proud daddy Dale
    D
 I know when they named ya they surely meant well, but
 
 Chorus:
 A           E
 Vidalia, Vidalia
 A                                  D      A          E
 Girl won't you tell me why, sweet Vidalia
           D                                A
 You always gotta make me cry.
 
 Short instrumental break (1 x intro)
 
 A
 I never paid no attention to a girl before
              D
 A
 Till the day I saw you standin in the Sunday school door
 A
 One boy sort of snickered when the roll was read
                D
 Till you laid the word of God upside of his head
 
 Chorus:
 A           E
 Vidalia, Vidalia
 A                                 D      A            E

           D                                    E...
 You always gotta make me... cry
 
 Bridge:
 E
 When I try to get too close
 D
 Seems like we've always been almost
 A                                                         E
 Just one step or two away from true love
 
 Instrumental break: repeat intro
 
 A
 Well I love the way you walk, I love the way you kiss
    D                                                        A
 I love to get away with you alone like this
 A
 If I could just mention just one little thing
 D
 Vidalia would you stop livin up to your name
