D'neath Antebellum mansions
Where the ancient Afloorboards Bmsag G  
And SpanBmish moss sways gently as A  
            Bm          A  G...
A tattered Rebel flag
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 moonD  
Hanging down like Ga tearA  
from God'Bms own eye
Laying low iGn the bottom of Athe 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 moonD  
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

'neath Antebellum mansions

A Bm G

Where the ancient floorboards sag

Bm A

And Spanish moss sways gently as

Bm A G

...

A tattered Rebel flag

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

G A

Hanging down like a tear

from God's own eye

G A Bm

Laying low in the bottom of the sky

G A Bm

Sneaking up on me like a thief in the night

A G

Every time it makes me think of you

G A D

Long ago beneath the Georgia moon

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
