DOne rainy night in Dalton they were talkin' in the bar
about two bodies they'd been searchin' Afor
Dbehind old Samson's sawmill the blood hounds foud their gBmrave
Dthey were layin' in that reAd Georgia clDay
Dso i just sat and listened and drank my whiskey down
i knew id never make it out of tAown
Dwhen a big hand grabbed my shoulder i started shakin' in my bBmoots
Di knew the time had come to tell the tAruth
Dsaid i followed them one evenin' when the sun was sinkin' low
i knew that loggin' shack's where they would Ago
Dbut i watched them love together it was more than i could tBmake
Dso i burried them in that rAed Georgia clDay
CHORUS
Dwell i maybe hungry colGd and loneDly in this olGd prison ceDll
and when i die i geuss i'll go to HAell
Dbut at least i know she won't be runnin' round on me tBmoday
Dcause i left her in that rAed Georgia cDlay
Darm in arm together they both wanted it that wBmay
Dso i left them in that rAed Georgia cDlay
( just finish it with an old school ending by sliding a flat D chord to major D chord.)
