  			         A                 E/Ab 
He owns a big estate, just south of Savannah, 
      F#m                D 
And a high-rise hotel in downtown Atlanta. 
    F#m               E              D 
And half the state of Georgia to his name.  
        A                      E/Ab 
She'd be set for life in his colonial manor.  
             F#m                   D 
He'd lay the world at her feet on a silver platter,  
    F#m   E      D       E         A 
But all I had to offer her was the moon... 
 
 
 
                 Bm7       Esus E 
And she took the moon over Geor-gia. 
      A      E/Ab   F#m     A7           Bm 
She'd rather have a million stars in the sky, 
       Esus E     A  Asus  A 
Than a gold mine, 
             Bm7       Esus E 
She took the moon over Geor-gia. 
        D            Db/F         F#m  
When it came down to his world or mine,  
    B        Bm7       Esus E  A 
She took the moon over Ge - or-gia.  
 
 
 
                           E/Ab 
A little country house, in need of expansion, 
       F#m              D 
It's a far cry from his south Georgia mansion.  
    F#m           E       D 
But we've got our own paradise. 
       A                           E/Ab 
Shadow dancing 'til dawn, with the full moon shinin',  
            F#m                       G6 
And those occasional clouds all have a silver lining.  
      F#m            E          D         E        A 
There really must be something about that old yellow light...  
 
 
 
                    Bm7       Esus E 
'Cause she took the moon over Geor-gia. 
      A      E/Ab   F#m     A7           Bm 
She'd rather have a million stars in the sky, 
       Esus E     A  Asus  A 
Than a gold mine, 
             Bm7       Esus E 
She took the moon over Geor-gia. 
        D            Db/F         F#m  
When it came down to his world or mine,  
    B        Bm7       Esus Fdim F#m7 
She took the moon over Ge - or - gia.  
    B        Bm7       Esus E  A 
She took the moon over Ge - or-gia
