Since you've been gone she's been seeing that Amos boy, Seth

A B E
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
A B E
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
A B E
Don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
A B Em
Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands
----------------------------------------------------------
Am G
Andy got scared and he left the bar
Am D
Walking on home cause he didn't live far
Am G Am
You see, Andy didn't have many friends and he just lost him one
Am G
Brother thought his wife must've left town
Am D
So he went home and finally found
Am G Am
the only thing Daddy left him and that was a gun
Am G
He went off to Andy's house
Am D
Slipping through the woods as quiet as a mouse
Am G Am
Come upon some tracks too small for Andy to make
Am G
He looked through the screen at the back porch door
Am D
He saw Andy lying on the floor
Am Em Am
In a puddle of blood, and he started to shake.
A B
The Georgia Patrol was making their rounds
E E
so he fired a shot just to flag them down
A B
A big bellied sheriff grabbed his gun and said,
Em
Why'd you do it?
Am G
The judge said guilty in a make believe trial
Am D
Slapped the sherrif on the back with a smile
Am G Am
And said suppers waiting at home and I got to get to it
A B E
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
A B E
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
A B E
Don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
A B Em
Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands.
Am G
They hung my brother before I could say
Am D
the tracks he saw while on this way
Am G Am
to Andy's house and back that night were mine
Am G
And his cheatin' wife had never left town
Am D
That's one body that'll never be found
Am G Am
You see, little sister don't miss when she aims her gun
2x
A B E
That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia
A B E
That's the night that they hung an innocent man
A B E
Don't trust your soul to no backwoods Southern lawyer
A B Em
Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands.
