Georgia – Charlie Daniels

[Verse 1]
A augmentedA          F# minorF#m       G+G       D MajorD
Lamps in the windows burnin' bright, over in Santa Fe tonight
A augmentedA         F# minorF#m      G+G D MajorD
Full moon shining down along the border
    A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
But the ground is hard and the night is black
G+G             D MajorD
Over here by the railroad track
   A augmentedA           F# minorF#m     G+G  A augmentedA
And I wish to the Lord that I was back in Georgia

[Chorus]
A augmentedA         D MajorD
Blue water in the evening sun
C# minorC#m         F# minorF#m
Calling me when the day is done
G+G     D MajorD         A augmentedA G+G G MajorG D MajorD A augmentedA
Mama, mama pray for your son

[Verse 2]
A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
All of my life I've been told
     G+G       D MajorD
That the LA streets was paved with gold
A augmentedA              G+G   D MajorD
Fame and fortune waiting to reward ya
A augmentedA             F# minorF#m
But it didn't take long to understand
G+G           D MajorD
California ain't the promised land
A augmentedA       F# minorF#m      G+G  A augmentedA
But at least a man's a man in Georgia

[Chorus]
A augmentedA         D MajorD
Blue skys in the mornin' there
C# minorC#m             F# minorF#m
And there's green trees and breathin' air
G+G       D MajorD     A augmentedA G+G G MajorG D MajorD A augmentedA
Rockabye in my easy chair

[Bridge]
E MajorE                A augmentedA
Well the St. Mary's River in the Georgia moonlight
D MajorD         A augmentedA
Flowing under the Folkston Bridge
E MajorE              A augmentedA
The sun comes up through the long leaf pine trees
D MajorD        A augmentedA
Over 'round the Kingsland ridge
D MajorD
I may be here but my mind is still
    G+G            A augmentedA   E MajorE
About 90 miles north of Jacksonville

[Verse 3]
A augmentedA               F# minorF#m
Well I may not make it, it's a long, long road
  G+G           D MajorD
But mama I've paid all the debts I owe
  A augmentedA       F# minorF#m           G+G D MajorD
And if I don't you know they gonna find me tryin'
A augmentedA              F# minorF#m
They took my songs and they took my soul
G+G                 D MajorD
They made me hard and they made me old
    A augmentedA          F# minorF#m        G+G A augmentedA
Well I just been born, but I feel just like I'm dying

[Chorus]
A augmentedA         D MajorD
Blue water in the evening sun
C# minorC#m         F# minorF#m
Calling me when the day is done
G+G     D MajorD        A augmentedA G+G G MajorG D MajorD A augmentedA
Mama, mama pray for your son
