Intro: (G)  (G) 
 
He owns a (G) big estate  
Just (D/F#) south of Savannah  
And a (Em) high rise hotel in (C) downtown Atlanta  
And (Em) half the state of (D) Georgia to his (C) name  
She'd (G) be set for life in his (D/F#) coloniel manner  
He laid the (Em) world at her feet on a (C) silver platter  
But (Em) all I (D) had to (C) offer (D) her, was the (G) moon  
 
  And she took the (Am) moon (C) over (Em) Georg(D)ia  
  She'd (G) rather (D/F#) have a (Em) million (D) stars in the (Am) sky  
  Than a (D) gold mine  
  (G) She took the (Am) moon (C) over (Em) Georg(D)ia  
  When it (Em) came down to (D/F#) his world or (A7) mine  
  She took the (C) moon over (Am) Geo(D)rg(G)ia  
 
A little (G) country house in (D/F#) need of expansion  
It's (Em) far cry from his (C) South Georgia mansion  
But (Em) we've got our (D) own para(C)dise.  
Shadow (G) dancin' til dawn with a (D/F#) full moon shinin'  
And those (Em) occasional clouds all have a (C) silver lining  
There (Em) really must be (D) something ab(C)out, that (D) old yellow (G) light
