Georgia Moon chords by Pierce Pettis

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD
'neath Antebellum mansions
         G+G
Where the ancient floorboards sag
    A augmentedA
And Spanish moss sways gently as
  G...
A augmentedA tattered Rebel flag
Strolling past wrought iron fences
Tipped with rusty spikes
I felt the softness of your hand
You were beautiful that night
We walked in long shadows
Long after it was dark
Took our shoes off by the fountain
Down at the city park
Your flowered dress was clinging and
Your hair was stringy wet
We kissed beneath the white cascade
I never will forget

       D MajorD
Georgia moon
         A augmentedA
Hanging down like a tear
     B minorBm
from God's own eye
      B minorBm
Laying low in the bottom of the sky
        B minorBm
Sneaking up on me like a thief in the night
      G+G
Every time it makes me think of you
    D MajorD
Long ago beneath the Georgia moon

In the Confederate cemetery
A augmentedA sentry stood on high
Expressionless despite
A augmentedA fuselage of fireflies
On the graves of our grandfathers
Where the grass is long and cool
It was there we laid our blanket down
Like a flag of truce

On your mother's wide veranda
We said our last goodbyes
You were off to college by
The red dawn's early light
Now your memory still shines on me
Part Heaven and part Hell
Oh to reach for the roses, we
Must feel the thorns as well
