[Bbm]
He was on his way home [C] from Candletop
[Bbm] Been two weeks gone [Eb] and he thought he'd stop [Bbm] at Webb's
And have him [Fm] a drink before he went [Bbm] home to her
Andy [Ab] Wolos said hello [Bbm] and he said hi, [Eb] what's doing, Walt?
He [Bbm] said sit down, I got [Fm] some bad news, it's [Bbm] gonna hurt
Said I'm your best [Bb] friend and you know that's right
[Bbm] But your young bride [Eb] ain't home tonight
[Bbm] Since you've been gone [Fm] she's been seeing that [Bbm] anus for a sec
Well he got [Bb] mad and he saw red
[Bbm] And Andy said, [Eb] boy, don't you lose your [Bbm] head
Cause to tell you the [Fm] truth, I've been [Bbm] over myself
[Gm] That's a [C] night to burn [F] in Georgia
[Dm] [Gm] That's a [C] night to [F] be an innocent man
[Dm] [Gm] So don't trust a [C] soul with no backwoods [F]-style lawyer

[Bbm] Well Andy got [Bb] scared and left the bar
[Bbm] Walking on [Eb] home cause he didn't move [Bbm] far
See Andy didn't [Fm] have many friends and he [Bbm] just lost him one
And brother thought his [Bb] wife must have left [Bbm] town
So he went [Eb] home and finally [Bbm] found
The only thing [Fm] Papa had left him and [Bbm] that was a gun
Then he went [Bb] off to Andy's [Bbm] house
Slipping through [Eb] the back porch quiet as [Bbm] a mouse
Came upon [Fm] some tracks too small [Bbm] for Andy to make
And he looked through the [Bb] screen of the back porch [Bbm] door
He saw [Eb] Andy lying on the [Bbm] floor in a puddle of [Fm] blood
And he [Bbm] started to shake
[Gm] Well the Georgia patrol [C] wasn't making their [F] rounds
So he fired a shot [Dm] just [Gm] down her
And the big belly sheriff [C] brother's gone and said [Fm] what'd you do
[Bbm] And the judge said guilty [Bb] and underneath the leaf cloud
[Bbm] Slapped the sheriff [Eb] on the back with a smile
[Bbm] Said supper's waiting [Fm] at home, oh man I gotta [Bbm] get to it
[Gm] That's a night [C] to burn
[F] [Dm] That's a night to [C] be hard in [F] [Dm] it
So don't [Gm] trust a soul with no [C] backwoods
[F] [Dm] [Gm] Cause the judge in the [C] town's got bloodstains [Fm] on his hands
[Bbm] Well they hung my brother before [Fm] I could [Bbm] say
The tight teeth saw a while [Eb] on his way to Andy's [Fm] house
And back that [Bbm] night were mine
And his cheating wife had [Fm] never left [Bbm] town
That's one body that'll never be found
See, who let his [Fm] sister go missing when she [Bbm] aims her gun
