[A] [F#m]
[A] [D] [C#m]
[A] On the morning you went away
The air was humid and the sky was grey
I had boiled [E] peanuts for breakfast
From Cairo, [A] Georgia
The [Bm] [C#m]
[A] [C#m]
[A] air was [F#m] wet, my face was [G#] wetter
The [A] big flowers along the western [E] window
Made me feel better
I [A] turned the air [D] conditioner on
[E]
[A] Found that no dog stented [D] stationery
You were long gone
I [A] had boiled peanuts [E] for breakfast
From [A] Cairo, Georgia
At [C#m] [D]
[C#m] [A] [C#m] [D]
[E] [A] the top of [D] the aluminum cave
[A] Let the brine slide down [E] my fingers
Man, it [A] was warm, [D] it was warm on my skin
[A] But I felt the cold [D] fast moving on
And [A] I had boiled peanuts [E] for breakfast
From [A] Cairo, Georgia
