^GThat Georgia sun was blood red and going down That Georgia sun was ^Fblood red and ^Ggoing 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

And then he ^G7cussed her He ^Csaid girl you're young but some dude has come along and stole your ^Gmother

But you can't steal a willing mind cause ^D7mama's always looking for a ^Glover

^GThat Georgia sun was blood red and going down That Georgia sun was ^Fblood red and ^Ggoing down

With dusty teardrops on his face my daddy cried and big steps he was taking

Halfway running to keep up my shorter legs were so tired and ^G7shaking ^CWhere did I go wrong girl why she did leave us both this ^Gway

At times like these a child of ten ^D7never knows exactly what to^G say

^GThat Georgia sun was blood red and going down That Georgia sun was ^Fblood red and ^Ggoing down

We searched in every barroom and honky tonk as well

And finally daddy found them and Lord you know the rest is hard ^G7to tell ^CHe sent me out to wait but scared I looked back through the ^Gdoor

And daddy left them both ^D7soaking up the sawdust on the ^Gfloor

^GThat Georgia sun was blood red and going down That Georgia sun was ^Fblood red and ^Ggoing down
