John Anderson - Red Georgia Clay guitar chord

Red Georgia Clay

By John Anderson

D

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

D A

About two bodies they'd been searching for

D Bm

Behind old Samson's sawmill, the blood hounds found 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

D A

I knew I'd never make it out of town

D Bm

When a big hand grabbed my shoulder, I started shakin' in my boots

D A D

And I knew the time had come to tell the truth

D

I said I followed them one evening when the sun was sinkin' low

D A

I knew that loggin' shack was where they'd go

D Bm

But when I watched 'em love together, it was more than I could take

D A D

So I left them layin' in that red Georgia clay

Chorus:

D G D G D

I may be hungry, cold and lonely in this ole prison cell

A

And when I die I guess 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 they're layin' in the Red Georgia clay

Arm and arm together, they both wanted it that way

So I left them layin' in that Red Georgia clay
