Georgia Moon Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

D'neath Antebellum mansions

 Where the ancientA floorboardsBm sag G

 And SpanBmish moss sways gently as A

 A taBmttered RebAel flag G

Strolling past wrought iron fences

Tipped with rusty spikes

I felt the softness of your hand

You were beautiful that night

We walked in long shadows

Long after it was dark

Took our shoes off by the fountain

Down at the city park

Your flowered dress was clinging and

Your hair was stringy wet

We kissed beneath the white cascade

I never will forget

 Georgia moon D

 Hanging down likeG a tear A

 from God'Bms own eye

 Laying low iGn the bottom ofA the sky Bm

 Sneaking up on mGe like a thief in the Anight Bm

 Every time iAt makes me think of you G

 Long agGo beneath tAhe Georgia moon D

In the Confederate cemetery

A sentry stood on high

Expressionless despite

A fuselage of fireflies

On the graves of our grandfathers

Where the grass is long and cool

It was there we laid our blanket down

Like a flag of truce

On your mother's wide veranda

We said our last goodbyes

You were off to college by

The red dawn's early light

Now your memory still shines on me

Part Heaven and part Hell

Oh to reach for the roses, we

Must feel the thorns as well
