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

                                       F
about two bodies they'd been searchin' for

C                                                        Am
behind old Samson's sawmill the blood hounds foud their grave

C                          F           C
they were layin' in that red Georgia clay

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

                                F
i knew id never make it out of town

C                                                            Am
when a big hand grabbed my shoulder i started shakin' in my boots

C                                     F
i knew the time had come to tell the truth

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

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

C                                                          Am
but i watched them love together it was more than i could take

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

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

C                                                     Am
but at least i know she won't be runnin' round on me today

C                         F           C
cause i left her in that red Georgia clay

C                                             Am
arm in arm together they both wanted it that way

C                       F           C
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.)
