Verse
G D/F#
He owns a big estate just south of Savannah
Em C
And a high rise hotel in downtown Atlanta
Em D C
And half the state of Georgia to his name
G D/F#
She’d be set for life in his colonial manner
Em C
He laid the world at her feet on a silver platter
Em D C D G
But all I had to offer her was the moon
Chorus
Am7 D
And she took the moon over Georgia
G D/F# Em D Am7 D G
She’d rather have a million stars in the sky than a gold mine
Am7 D
She took the moon over Georgia
C Am7/B Am7
When it came down to his world or mine
Em Am7 D G
She took the moon over Georgia
Verse
G D/F#
A little country house in need of expansion
Em C
It’s a far cry from his south Georgia mansion
Em D C
But we’ve got our own paradise
G D/F#
Shadow dancin’ ‘til dawn with a full moon shinin’
Em C
And those occasional clouds all have a silver linin’
Em D C D G
There really must be something about, that old yellow light
Chorus
Am7 D
She took the moon over Georgia
G D/F# Em D Am7 D G
She’d rather have a million stars in the sky than a gold mine

Yeah she took the moon over Georgia
C Am7/B Am7
When it came down to his world or mine
Em Am7 D Em7
She took the moon over Georgia
Am7 D G
She took the moon over Georgia
