F
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
EbF
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
Daddy said now come girl we're headed down the road to Augusta
And faintly through his clenched fists he called mama's name
F7
And then he cussed her
BbF
He said girl you're young but some dude has come along and stole your mother
C7F
But you can't steal a willing mind cause mama's always looking for a lover
F
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
EbF
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
With dusty teardrops on his face my daddy cried and big steps he was taking
F7
Halfway running to keep up my shorter legs were so tired and shaking
BbF
Where did I go wrong girl why she did leave us both this way
C7F
At times like these a child of ten never knows exactly what to say
F
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
EbF
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
We searched in every barroom and honky tonk as well
F7
And finally daddy found them and Lord you know the rest is hard to tell
BbF
He sent me out to wait but scared I looked back through the door
C7F
And daddy left them both soaking up the sawdust on the floor
F
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
EbF
That Georgia sun was blood red and going down
