                         AUSTIN  Blake Shelton
Intro chords G C G C
      C                      G      
She left without leavin a number 
               C                  G
She said she needed to clear her mind
     C                         Em   
He figured she'd gone back to Austin  
                   C               D
Cause she talked about it all the time
Bm                C                D
It was almost a year before she called him up
Bm                    C                D
Three rings and a answering machine is   what she got
             G              Em
If you're calling about the car I sold it
C                   D     
If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling
Em                        D                       C            D
If you got something to sell you're wasting your time I'm not buying
           G     Em                 D                    C
If it's anybody else wait for the tone You know what to do
Am  F                D              Am   G   C  G  
   Yes, if this is Austin, I still love you
        C                    G          C                      G    
The telephone fell to the counter She heard but she couldn't believe
C                         Em                C                           D
What kind of a man would hang on that long What kind of love that must be
Bm                C              D          Bm                         C   
She waited three days then she tried again She didn't know what she'd say
          D                                   G             Em
But she heard three rings and then If it's Friday night I'm at the 
                   C                    D
baseball game And first thing Saturday if it don't rain
Em                      D                C                D 
I'm heading out to the lake and I'll be gone all weekend long
G                             Em               D           C
But I will call you back when I get home  On Sunday after-noon
Am  F             D              Am    G
   Yes, if this Austin, I still love you
Am                                      Bm           G
Well this time she left her number  But not another word
          D#                                 D
Then she waited by the phone Sunday evening And this is what he heard 
             A              F#m
If you're calling about my heart it's still yours
D                E
I should listen to it a little more
F#m                      E           D                E 
Then  it wouldn't have taken me so long to know Where I belong
     A               F#m          E                   D     
And by the way, boy this is no machine you're talking to
Bm            G             E             Bm   A D A      
   Can't you tell this is Austin I still love you    
          D         A D A
I still love you
