Bbm               Gm        Ab                   Bbm
He was on his way home from Candletop..he'd been two 
                  Eb                    Bbm
weeks gone and he thought he'd stop, at Webb's and

have him a drink before he went home to her.

Andy Wardlow said, Jed, hello, and he said, hi, what's
Ab
doin', Woz?
         Bbm                  Ab                   Bbm

Eb       Bbm                          Ab
He said, I'm your best friend and you know that's right,
    Bbm                    Eb                  Bbm

gone she's been seein' that aimless boy, Seth.
                     Ab              Bbm
Well, he got mad and he saw red, and Andy said, boy, 
         Eb                       Bbm                 Fm
don'tcha lose your head, cause to tell you the truth, I 
              Bbm
been with her myself.

Gm                        C                  F      Dm
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia.
Gm                         C                F   Dm
That's the night that they hung an innocent man.
            Gm                    C                  F     Dm
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer.
          Gm                      C                   Fm
Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands.

      Bbm                 Ab                    Bbm
Well, Andy got scared and left the bar and went walkin' on 
              Eb          
home cause he didn't live far.
         Bbm                   Fm                      
You see, Andy didn't have many friends and he'd just lost 
    Bbm
him one.
    Bbm                      Ab                   Bbm
And brother thought his wife must'a left town, so he went home 
    Eb                Bbm                 Fm            
and finally found the only thing Papa had left him, and that was 
  Bbm
a gun.



#4.
Bbm                Ab     Fm     Bbm
And he went off to Andy's house, slippin' through the backwoods 
Eb                Bbm                       Fm                Bbm
quiet as a mouse..came upon some tracks too small for Andy to make.
Bbm                                 Ab                   Bbm
He looked through the screen at the back-porch door, and he saw 
     Eb                      Bbm             Fm                Bbm
Andy lyin' on the floor in a puddle of blood and he started to shake.

          Gm                 C                          F
Well, the Georgia Patrol was makin' their rounds, so he fired a shot 
        Dm7                  Gm                              C
just to flag 'em down, and a big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and 
               F     Fm
said, why'd ya do it?
        Bbm                      Ab           Fm     Bbm
And the judge said, guilty, in a make-believe trial, slapped the 
               Eb                           Fm       Bbm        Fm
sheriff on the back with a smile, and said, supper's waitin' at home 
                Bbm
and I gotta get to it.



CHORUS:
Gm                        C                  F      Dm
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia.

That's the night that they hung an innocent man.
            Gm                    C                  F     Dm
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer.
          Gm                      C                   Fm
Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands.



#6.
           Bbm             Ab                          Bbm
Well, they hung my brother before I could say that the tracks he saw 
      Eb            Bbm               Fm                    Bbm
while on his way to Andy's house, out back, that night were mine.
Bbm                       Fm    Ab            Bbm      
And his cheatin' wife had never left town and that's one body that'll 
Eb                   Bbm                 Fm                     Bbm
never be found..see, little sister don't miss when she aims her gun.

That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia (whoa-oh.)
Gm                         C                F           Dm
That's the night that they hung an innocent man (uh-huh-huh.)
            Gm                    C                  F     Dm
Well, don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer.
          Gm                      C                   Fm
Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands..(Fade.)
