I did not tab this song. This song was tabbed by Steven Kuo. OPEN is just an open string XXOOOX (CAPO at III) CAPO at III 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 ---------------------------------------------------------- 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 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.
