[Gm] [Cm]
He was on his way home from Campbell Top
Then two weeks [F] gone and he thought he'd stop
[Cm] At Webb's and have [Gm] him a drink before he went [Cm] home to her
And he [F] said hello
[Cm] He said hi, what's [F] doin'
Whoa [Cm] said sit down, I've got some bad news it's gonna hurt
Now I'm your best [Bb] friend and you know that's right
[Cm] But your young [F] bride, hey
[Cm] Since you've been gone [Gm] she's been sayin' that [Cm] aimless voice sayin'
She got [D] mad and he saw red
[Cm] And he said boy don't you [F] lose your head
[Cm] Cause I'll tell you the truth
[Gm] I've been with her [Cm] my sin
[Am] That's the [D] night that the lion [G] in Georgia
[Em]
That's [Am] the [D] night that they had the [G] dearest of men
[Em]
[Am] Don't trust your soul [D] but don't doubt what's [G] tellin' all of ya
Cause [Am] he judged and the couch [D] got bloodstains [Gm] on his hands
[Cm] Well Andy got scared [Bb] and left the bar
[Cm] Walkin' on home [F] cause he didn't [C] live far [Cm] you see
And he didn't have [Gm] many friends he just [Cm] lost him one
The brotherhood his [Bb] wife must've been [Cm] tellin'
He went [F] home to find him he found
[Cm] The only thing that [Gm] he had left him in that [Cm] was a gun
So he went off [F] to Andy's house
[Cm] Slippin' through the [F] backwoods quiet as a mouse
[Cm] Came up on some [Bb] tracks too small for Andy [Cm] to land
Looked through the screen [D] on the backwoods floor
[Cm] He saw a [F] man lying on the floor [Cm] in a puddle of blood
[Gm] And he started [Cm] to [C] shake
[Am] The border patrol [D] was a-listenin' around
[G] So he fired a shot, [Em] set the flagging down
[Am] A pink-bellied sheriff [D] grabbed his gun and said [Gm] watch it Shhh!
[Cm] Said said Kinky [Bb] on a rickety [Cm] trowel
Slapped the sheriff [F] on the back with a smile
And [Cm] said sufferers waitin' [Bb] at home I've got a [Cm] gift too
That's [Am] the night [D] that the lions got out [G] in Georgia
[Em] That's [Am] the night [D] that we heard the hills [G] of men [Em] Uh-huh
Said [Am] don't trust a soldier [D] no proper [G] severed lower [Em] lip
[Am] Cause the judge in the camps [D] got bloodstains on [Gm] his hands
[Cm] And on my brother [Bb] before I could say
[Cm] The tracks he survived [F] on his way [Cm] to Andy's house
[Gm] And back that night I'd [Cm] remind him
That his cheating wife [Gm] had never [Cm] left town
That's one body [F] that'll never [Cm] be found you see
Little sister [Gm] don't miss [Cm] when she aims her gun
That's [Am] [D] [G] the night that the lions got out in Georgia
[Em] That's [Am] the night that [D] we heard the hills [G] of men [Em] Uh-huh
