Capo 2nd Fret
Intro: (G) (G)
He owns a (G) big estate
Just (D/F#) south of Savannah
And a (Em) high rise hotel in (C) downtown Atlanta
And (Em) half the state of (D) Georgia to his (C) name
She'd (G) be set for life in his (D/F#) coloniel manner
He laid the (Em) world at her feet on a (C) silver platter
But (Em) all I (D) had to (C) offer (D) her, was the (G) moon
And she took the (Am) moon (C) over (Em) Georg(D)ia
She'd (G) rather (D/F#) have a (Em) million (D) stars in the (Am) sky
Than a (D) gold mine
(G) She took the (Am) moon (C) over (Em) Georg(D)ia
When it (Em) came down to (D/F#) his world or (A7) mine
She took the (C) moon over (Am) Geo(D)rg(G)ia
A little (G) country house in (D/F#) need of expansion
It's (Em) far cry from his (C) South Georgia mansion
But (Em) we've got our (D) own para(C)dise.
Shadow (G) dancin' til dawn with a (D/F#) full moon shinin'
And those (Em) occasional clouds all have a (C) silver lining
There (Em) really must be (D) something ab(C)out, that (D) old yellow (G) light
