[Verse 1]
ALamps in the windows F#mburnin' bright, Gover in Santa DFe tonight
AFull moon shining F#mdown along the GborDder

GOver here by the railroad Dtrack
And I Awish to the Lord that F#mI was back in GGeoArgia

C#mCalling me when the F#mday is done
GMama, mama Dpray for your sonA  G  G  D  A

AAll of my life F#mI've been told
That the GLA streets was Dpaved with gold

GCalifornia ain't the pDromised land
ABut at least a F#mman's a man in GGeorAgia

ABlue skys in the mDornin' there
C#mAnd there's green trees and F#mbreathin' air
