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 manor
            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       D7sus4 D7
And she took the moon over Geor...gia
      G      D/F#   Em                   Am7        C    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            B7           Em
When it came down to his world or mine
    A7       Am7       C  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       D7sus4 D7
And she took the moon over Geor...gia
      G      D/F#   Em                   Am7        C    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            B7           Em
When it came down to his world or mine
    A7       Am7       C  D   Em7
She took the moon over Georgia
    A7       Am7       C  D G
She took the moon over Georgia
