Georgia

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 A  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                     A
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
