That's the night that the lights went out in Georgia

That's the night that they hung an innocent man

Cause the judge in the town's got blood stains on his hands

Andy got scared and he left the bar

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

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
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.
