Georgia Law Man

	  		
Intro Em  G  C 

Verse 1:
            Em 
They caught hell down 

On that county line 
          G 
He said, "Georgia law man, 

He ain't taking what's mine!" 
   C 
And I knew it came a little 

Too soon  my dear 
                 Em 
'Cause he'd been fighting his way  

Through the Southern States 
      G 
With a bottle of whiskey and  

A few mistakes 
         C 
And then fell right into love 

With a girl named Grace
 

 
                Em                   
He said, "Well I died today 
         G 
When you took my breath away 
          C 
With that Oklahoma sunshine on your face 
        Em         
And I'd find a way 
G 
 To promise you forever 
          C 
Even if forever means I'm gonna 

Have to sell my soul today"
 
  

 
Verse 2:
       Em 
So they rode together 

Just-a raising Cain 
G 
Cheatin' death out of them poker games 
          C 
And then knockin' on  

The bank on the back way out of town 
         Em                                        
With the marshal's boys never 
                    G 
Far behind and then West Virginia out 

On the horizonght now  
C 
He thought it best to let 

Her know right now 

 
         Em                                                    
He said, "We could've died today  
      G 
But I loved you all the way 
        C                                 
And I'd go right down to Hell  

Just to set you free 
        Em                   
And I'd find a way 
G 
 To promise you forever 
          C 
Even if forever means dying right  

Here with you next to me" 
Am  Em  Am  Em 
Oo__oh, oo__oh 
       Am  Em     
I said oo__oh, oh 
Am  G   C 
Oo__oh 

Verse 3:
        Em 
So when Hell came down on  

That county line 
    G 
And all they could remember was the 
Oklahoma sunshine 
C 
 She looked at him and he  

Looked away, he said; 
         Em                                                     
"I heard West Virginia looks  
                    G 
Just like heaven and right here's  

About as close as were getting and I- 
 C 
I don't think were going to 
Win this one but hey" 

 
           Em                   
We're gonna die today,  
         G 
But I've loved you all the way 
        C 
And I'd go right down to Hell 

Just to set you free 
        Em                              
And I'd find a way 
G 
 To promise you forever 
          C 
Even if forever means dying right  

Here with you next to me 
Am  Em  Am  Em 
Oo__oh, oo__oh 
       Am  Em 
I said oo__oh, oh 
Am G  C Em
