D
One rainy night in Dalton they were talkin' in the bar

                                       A
about two bodies they'd been searchin' for

D                                                        Bm
behind old Samson's sawmill the blood hounds foud their grave

D                          A           D
they were layin' in that red Georgia clay

D
so i just sat and listened and drank my whiskey down

                                A
i knew id never make it out of town

D                                                            Bm
when a big hand grabbed my shoulder i started shakin' in my boots

D                                     A
i knew the time had come to tell the truth

D
said i followed them one evenin' when the sun was sinkin' low

                                             A
i knew that loggin' shack's where they would go

D                                                          Bm
but i watched them love together it was more than i could take

D                          A            D
so i burried them in that red Georgia clay
CHORUS
D                      G         D            G          D
well i maybe hungry cold and lonely in this old prison cell

                                   A
and when i die i geuss i'll go to Hell

D                                                     Bm
but at least i know she won't be runnin' round on me today

D                         A           D
cause i left her in that red Georgia clay

D                                             Bm
arm in arm together they both wanted it that way

D                       A           D
so i left them in that red Georgia clay
( just finish it with an old school ending by sliding a flat D chord to major D chord.)
