Cedartown Georgia

D     A     E

E                      D   A   E
I got a gal in Cedartown Georgia
E                                          D    A    E
I used to have to walk nearly three miles to court her
A                                       D   E   A
She never had much, just a sharecropper's daughter

Got a little house in the South French Quarter (bass riff)

E                                    D    A   E
Got a job hookin' bales, load em' on a steamboat
E                                         D   A   E
I give her seven days pay, and the next day I'm broke
A                                        D   E   A
When she ain't sleeping all day, she's a primpin'
F#
Every evening when the sun goes down
B                         N.C.                   B7
She starts a swarmin' on 'Orlean town (bass riff)

E                               D   A   E
Walkin' into work this morning at daybreak
E                                           D    A    E
I caught her with the tall lord dandy from New King Bay
A                                     D     E     A
She walked right by and she looked right through me
F#
I made up my mind what I'm a gonna do
B                        N.C.                          B7
Eased in a pawnshop and bought a twenty-two (bass riff)

E                                     D   A   E
I watched as the room clerk gave them a room key
E                                   D   A    E
Standing outside I could read room twenty-three
A                                 D   E   A
Tonight I'll put her on a train for Georgia
F#
Gonna be a lotta kin folks squallin' and grievin'
B                         N.C.                       E
'Cause that Cedartown gal ain't breathin' (bass riff)
