Georgia Charlie Daniels
[Verse 1]
[A]Lamps in the windows [F#m]burnin' bright, [G]over in Santa [D]Fe tonight
[A]Full moon shining [F#m]down along the [G]bor[D]der
But the [A]ground is hard and the [F#m]night is black
[G]Over here by the railroad [D]track
And I [A]wish to the Lord that [F#m]I was back in[G] Geo[A]rgia
[Cborus]
[A]Blue water in the [D]evening sun
[C#m]Calling me when the [F#m]day is done
[G]Mama, mama [D]pray for your son[A] [G] [G] [D] [A]
[Verse 2]
[A]All of my life [F#m]I've been told
That the [G]LA streets was [D]paved with gold
[A]Fame and fortune waiting to [G]reward [D]ya
[A]But it didn't take long to [F#m]understand
[G]California ain't the p[D]romised land
[A]But at least a [F#m]man's a man in [G]Geor[A]gia
[Cborus]
[A]Blue skys in the m[D]ornin' there
[C#m]And there's green trees and [F#m]breathin' air
[G]Rockabye in my [D]easy chair[A] [G] [G] [D] [A]
[Bridge]
[E]Well the St. Mary's River in the [A]Georgia moonlight
[D]Flowing under the [A]Folkston Bridge
[E]The sun comes up through the [A]long leaf pine trees
[D]Over 'round the K[A]ingsland ridge
[D]I may be here but my mind is still
About 9[G]0 miles north of Jackson[A]ville[E]
[Verse 3]
[A]Well I may not make it, it's a [F#m]long, long road
But [G]mama I've paid all the [D]debts I owe
And [A]if I don't you [F#m]know they gonna find me [G]try[D]in'
[A]They took my songs and they [F#m]took my soul
[G]They made me hard and they made me [D]old
Well I j[A]ust been born, but I [F#m]feel just like I'm [G]dyi[A]ng
[Cborus]
[A]Blue water in the [D]evening sun
[C#m]Calling me when the [F#m]day is done
[G]Mama, mama [D]pray for your son[A] [G] [G] [D] [A]
