Georgia – Charlie Daniels
[Verse 1]
A F#m G D
Lamps in the windows burnin' bright, over in Santa Fe tonight
A F#m G D
Full moon shining down along the border
A F#m
But the ground is hard and the night is black
G D
Over here by the railroad track
A F#m G A
And I wish to the Lord that I was back in Georgia
[Chorus]
A D
Blue water in the evening sun
C#m F#m
Calling me when the day is done
G D A G G D A
Mama, mama pray for your son
[Verse 2]
A F#m
All of my life I've been told
G D
That the LA streets was paved with gold
A F#m G D
Fame and fortune waiting to reward ya
A F#m
But it didn't take long to understand
G D
California ain't the promised land
A F#m G A
But at least a man's a man in Georgia
[Chorus]
A D
Blue skys in the mornin' there
C#m F#m
And there's green trees and breathin' air
G D A G G D A
Rockabye in my easy chair
[Bridge]
E A
Well the St. Mary's River in the Georgia moonlight
D A
Flowing under the Folkston Bridge
E A
The sun comes up through the long leaf pine trees
D A
Over 'round the Kingsland ridge
D
I may be here but my mind is still
G A E
About 90 miles north of Jacksonville
[Verse 3]
A F#m
Well I may not make it, it's a long, long road
G D
But mama I've paid all the debts I owe
A F#m G D
And if I don't you know they gonna find me tryin'
A F#m
They took my songs and they took my soul
G D
They made me hard and they made me old
A F#m G A
Well I just been born, but I feel just like I'm dying
[Chorus]
A D
Blue water in the evening sun
C#m F#m
Calling me when the day is done
G D A G G D A
Mama, mama pray for your son
