[Gm] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He was on his way home from [Bb] Candletop
[Cm] Been two weeks gone and [F] he thought he'd stop at [Cm] Webb's
And have him [Gm] a drink before he went on [Cm] to her
Andy _ Wolo [F] said hello
[Cm] He said, I've [F] watched the wind, [Cm] whoa, said
Sit down, I've got [Gm] some bad news that's gonna [Cm] hurt
Said, I'm your best friend [Bb] and you know that's right
[Cm] But your young bride [F] ain't home tonight
[Cm] Said, she's been gone, [Gm] she's been seeing that Amos [Cm] boy
Said, _ _ now he got mad [Bb] and he's so red
[Cm] And he said, boy, [F] don't you lose your head
[Cm] Cause to tell you the truth, [Gm] I've been with her [Cm] myself
[C] That's _ [Am] the night [D] that the lights went [G] out in Georgia
[Em] That's _ [Am] the night [D] that they hung [Am] an innocent [G] man
[Em] But [Am] old trusty Soledad, [D] old backwoods, Southern [G] lawdy
[Em] [G] Cause [Am] the judge in the town [D] got [Gm] bloodstains on his head
_ [Cm] Well, Andy got scared [Bb] and left the bar
[Cm] Walking on home [F] cause he didn't live far, you [Cm] see
And he didn't have [Gm] any friends and he just [Cm] lost him one
[Cm] Brother thought his wife [Bb] must have left town
[Cm] So he went home [F] and finally found
[Cm] The only thing that he'd [Gm] left him, that was [Cm] a gun _
_ He went off [Bb] to Andy's house
[Cm] Slipping through the [F] backwoods, quiet as a [Cm] mouse
Came upon some [Gm] tracks too small for [Cm] Andy to make
He _ looked through the [Bb] screen at the back porch [Cm] door
And he saw [F] Andy lying on the [Cm] floor on a puddle of [Gm] blood
And he [Cm] started to shake
[C] _ _ [Am] Georgia [D] patrol was a-making their [G] rounds
So he fired a [Em] shot and flagged him [Am] down
A big belly [D] sheriff grabbed his gun and [G] said, why'd you do it?
_ [Cm] The judge said, [F] guilty, you ought to [Bb] make the [Cm] trial
Slapped the [F] sheriff on the back with a [Cm] smile
Said, sufferer's [Gm] waiting at home and I've [Cm] got to get to [C] it
_ [Am] That's the [D] night that the lights went [G] out in Georgia
[Em] That's [Am] the [D] night that they hung an [G] innocent man
[Em] But [Am] old trusty [D] Soledad, old backwoods, [G] Southern lawdy
[Em] _ [Am] Cause the judge in the town [D] got bloodstains [Gm] on his head
[Cm] Well, they hung my [Bb] brother before I could say
[Cm] The tracks he [F] saw lying on his [C] way to Andy's [Gm] house
And back that [Cm] night, well, mine
And his cheating [F] wife had never left [Cm] town
That's one body [F] that'll never [Cm] be found
You see, little sister [Gm] don't miss when she [Cm] aims her [C] gun
_ [Am] That's the night [D] that the [G] lights went out in Georgia
[Em] _ _ [Am] That's the night [D] that they hung [Am] an innocent [G] man
[Em] But [Am] old trusty Soledad, [D] old [Em] backwoods
[G] _ [Em] _
[Am] Cause the judge in [D] the town got bloodstains [G] on his head
_ [Am] That's the [Dm] night that the _ [G] _ _ [Em] _
_ [Am] lights went out in Georgia
That's the night [D] that they [G] _ _ _
hung an innocent man
But [Am] old trusty Soledad, [D] old backwoods, Southern [G] lawdy
_ [Em]
Cause [Am] the judge in the town got [D] [Gm] bloodstains on his head _
