       Am                    OPEN 
He was on his way home from Candletop 
 C                            D 
Been two weeks gone and he thought he stop 
    C                     Em                       Am 
at Web's and have him a drink 'for he went home to her 
 
 Am             OPEN 
Andy Wo-Lo said hello 
         C             D 
he said 'Hi, what's a doing', Wo 
      C                   Em                    Am 
said sit down, I got some bad news that's gonna hurt. 
 
  Am                             OPEN 
Said I'm you best friend and you know that's right 
     C                      D 
But your young bride ain't home tonight 
  C                                Em                   Am 
Since you've been gone she's been seeing that Amos boy, Seth 
 
Am             OPEN 
He got mad and he saw red 
 C                         D 
Andy said, Boy, don't you lose your head 
          C                  Em                 Am 
Cause to tell you the truth, I've been with her myself 


[Refrão]
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 OPEN Andy got scared and he left the bar C D Walking on home cause he didn't live far C Em Am You see, Andy didn't have many friends and he just lost him one Am OPEN Brother thought his wife must've left town C D So he went home and finally found C Em Am the only thing Daddy left him and that was a gun Am OPEN He went off to Andy's house C D Slipping through the woods as quiet as a mouse C Em Am Come upon some tracks too small for Andy to make Am OPEN He looked through the screen at the back porch door C D He saw Andy lying on the floor C 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 OPEN The Judge said Guilty in a make believe trial C D Slapped the Sheriff on the back with a smile C Em Am And said suppers waiting at home and I gotta get to it. ***** Am OPEN They hung my brother before I could say C D the tracks he saw while on this way C Em Am to Andy's house and back that night were mine Am OPEN And his cheatin' wife had never left town C D That's one body that'll never be found C Em Am You see, little sister don't miss when she aims her gun 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 E Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands
