Guitar chords with lyrics
INTRO:
Am Am Am Am
Am G
He was on his way home from Candle-top
Am D
Been two weeks gone and he thought he stop
Am G Am
at Web's and have him a drink 'for he went home to her
Am G Am D
Andy-Willow said hello, and he said 'Hi, what's doing', Woah
Am G Am
he said sit down, I got some bad news that's gonna hurt.
Am G
Said I'm-your-best-friend and you-know-that's-right
Am D
But your young bride ain't home tonight
Am G Am
Since-you've-been-gone she's-been-seeing that Amos boy, Seth
Am G Am D
He got mad and he saw red and Andy said, Boy, don't you lose your head
Am G Am
Cause to tell you the truth, I've been with her my-self

CHORUS:
Gm B E
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
Gm B E
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Gm B E
Don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
Gm B Em
Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands
Am G
Andy got scared and left the bar
Am D
Walking on home ‘cause he didn't live far
Am G Am
You see-Andy didn't have many friends and he just lost him one
Am G
My Brother thought his wife must've left town
Am D
So he went home and finally found
Am G Am
the only thing Papa had left him and that was a gun
Am G
He went off to Andy's house
Am D
Slipping through the back-woods quiet as a mouse
Am G Am
Came upon some tracks too-small for Andy to make
Am G
He looked-through-the screen-at-the-back-porch door
Am D
and He saw Andy lying on the floor
Am G Am
In a puddle of blood, and he started to shake.
Bridge:
Gm B E E
The Georgia Patrol was making their rounds so he fired a shot just to flag them down
Gm B Em
A big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said, Why'd you do it?
Am G
The judge said guilty in a make-believe trial
Am D
Slapped the sheriff on the back with a smile
Am G Am
And said supper’s waiting at home and I got to get to it
CHORUS:
Gm B E
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
Gm B E
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Gm B E
Don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
Gm B Em
Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands
Am G
Well They hung my brother be-fore I could say
Am D
the tracks he saw while on this way
Am G Am
to Andy's house and back that night were mine
Am G
And his cheatin' wife had never left town
Am D
and That's one body that'll never be found
Am G Am
You see, little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
CHORUS:
Gm B E
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
Gm B E
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Gm B E
Don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
Gm B Em
Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands
Gm B E
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
Gm B E
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
Gm B E
Don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
Gm B E
Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands
