Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
One rainy night in Dalton they were talkin' in the bar
about two bodies they'd been searchin' for
behind old Samson's sawmill the blood hounds foud their grave
they were layin' in that red Georgia clay
so i just sat and listened and drank my whiskey down
i knew id never make it out of town
when a big hand grabbed my shoulder i started shakin' in my boots
i knew the time had come to tell the truth
said i followed them one evenin' when the sun was sinkin' low
i knew that loggin' shack's where they would go
but i watched them love together it was more than i could take
so i burried them in that red Georgia clay
Chorus
well i maybe hungry cold and lonely in this old prison cell
and when i die i geuss i'll go to Hell
but at least i know she won't be runnin' round on me today
cause i left her in that red Georgia clay
arm in arm together they both wanted it that way
so i left them in that red Georgia clay
( just finish it with an old school ending by sliding a flat D chord to major D chord.)
