[C]
[G]
Standing on this mountain, [C] looking over LA at the [G] break of day.
Takes my mind back to Georgia many years ago when I was [D] just a babe.
I'd plow [G] fields and we'd walk [C] behind in the fresh plowed [G] ground with no shoes.
Ain't no resemblance between LA [D] and Georgia but the [C] morning [G] dew.
There was Sister Sally [C] swaying on our old [G] rubber tie sway.
While me and Brother Charlie headed down through Katie Woods to fish in [D] Mercy Springs.
[G] Later on in the afternoon we'd go [C] picking peaches and [G] sing a song or two.
Yes, I'm looking out at LA [D] with my eyes full of [G] Georgia morning dew.
[Eb] [Ab] Then all of a sudden it seemed we grew up [Db] and had to go out [Ab] in the world.
Sister Sally married John Cole and Brother married Tom Brown, [Eb] oldest girl.
Oh, and for me [Ab] I had big ideas about [Db] money and [Ab] culture too.
Now my lonely eyes are down fifty [Eb] dollars covered with LA [Ab] morning dew.
[E] [A] But on my way to work this morning [D] I knew I had all [A] I could get.
Working my heart out for pieces of paper [E] called pay.
[A] So I came up to this mountain [D] to figure out what I'm [A] gonna do.
And you know I think Monday morning's gonna find me standing [E] in the Georgia morning [A] dew.
Oh, I think Monday morning's gonna find me standing [E] in the Georgia morning dew.
