GHello Savannah, that fCace of yours reminds me
of the gGood times that we’ve had, all those niCghts we sat up wond'rin'
how the gGood Lord he might take us, or iCf we had a daughter
and the sGtars a kept on shining and the SCun never sets on SaGvannah.C  G  C  
[Verse 2]
And iGf I should be found there, siCttin’ and a rockin’
in that cGhair your father, he once built, bCefore your mama died
a yGear had followed with big black hats and weCdding gowns.
[Bridge]
And the gDood Lord he had told me, “Son I’ve neCver seen SavanGnah”
“HDold up the Sun I made and cCall me to her aGrms.”
I Dsaid, “Sometimes we all must travel, tCo her welcomiEmng”
Like that fCront porch, hangin, waitin and watDchin’, for the Sun to set on SGavannah.C  G  C  
[Verse 3]
So I piGcked up and I left you, no good reCason I could think of
A beGlief the road is stronger than Cit was ever long
At lGeast it might be quiet, if, CI am not mistaken
of a plGace I should have gone to, tChinkin’ it was time that I sGhould go.C

EveDry man’s a journey back Cto where he stGarted
LooDkin’ through her long brown hair, CI could never foGrget.”
