[C#] [G#] [C#]
The cold [A#m] was the [C#] night and the hard [F#] was the [C#] ground.
[F#] They found her in [C#] a small grove of [G#] trees.
[C#] And lonesome [F#] was [C#] the place where Georgia [F#] [C#] was found.
[F#] She's too young to be [C#] out on the [G#] street.
Why wasn't [C#] God watching?
[F#] Why [G#] wasn't [C#] God listening?
[F#] [G#] Why wasn't [C#] God there for [G#] Georgia [C#] Lee?
Ida said she couldn't [F#] [C#] keep Georgia from [A#m] dropping [F#] out [C#] of school.
[F#] I was doing the [C#] best that I [G#] could.
Oh, [C#] but she [F#] just [C#] kept running away from [F#] this [C#] world.
These [F#] children are [C#] so hard to raise [G#] good.
Why [C#] wasn't God watching?
[F#] Why [G#]
wasn't [C#] God listening?
[F#]
[G#] Why wasn't God [C#] there for [G#] Georgia [C#] Lee?
[G#] Close [C#] your eyes [F#] and count to [C#] ten.
[G#] I [C#] will go [Fm] [F#] and hide, [G#] but then [Fm] be sure [A#] to find me.
[D#m] I want you [G#] to find me.
[C#] And we'll play all [F#] over.
[C#] We'll play [F#] all over.
We will [C#] play [G#] [F#] all over [C#] again.
[G#] There's [C#] a toad in [F#] the [C#] witch grass.
There's [A#m] a crow in the [C#] [F#]
wildflowers [C#] across by the [G#] road.
[C#] And somewhere [F#] [C#] a baby is [A#m] [F#] crying for a [C#] mom.
As [F#] the hills turn [C#] from green back to gold.
[G#] Why wasn't [C#] God watching?
