CEDARTOWN GEORGIA
as recorded on CEDARTOWN GEORGIA, a 1971 album by WAYLON JENNINGS
Notes: Use single downstrokes for D A E and D E A parts,
I put the changes as accurately as possible in relation
to the lyrics. I use a single B chord and let ring during the words,
then start strumming again at E (after bass riff).
[Intro]
D A E
[Verse 1]
E D A E
I got a gal in Cedartown Georgia
E D A E
I used to have to walk nearly three miles to court her
A D E A
She never had much, just a sharecropper's daughter
F#
But I married her and took her down to New Orleans
B B7
N.C.
Got a little house in the South French Quarter (bass riff)
[Verse 2]
E D A E
Got a job hookin' bales, load em' on a steamboat
E D A E
I give her seven days pay, and the next day I'm broke
A D E A
When she ain't sleeping all day, she's a primpin'
F#
Every evening when the sun goes down
B B7
N.C.
She starts a swarmin' on 'Orlean town (bass riff)
[Verse 3]
E D A E
Walkin' into work this morning at daybreak
E D A E
I caught her with the tall lord dandy from New King Bay
A D E A
She walked right by and she looked right through me
F#
I made up my mind what I'm a gonna do
B B7
N.C.
Eased in a pawnshop and bought a twenty-two (bass riff)
[Verse 4]
E D A E
I watched as the room clerk gave them a room key
E D A E
Standing outside I could read room twenty-three
A D E A
Tonight I'll put her on a train for Georgia
F#
Gonna be a lotta kin folks squallin' and grievin'
B E
N.C.
'Cause that Cedartown gal ain't breathin' (bass riff)
E D A E
