Intro G
Verse
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 be[G] set for life in his [D/F#]colonial manor
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
Chorus
And she took the [Am7]moon over [D7sus4][D7]Geor...gia
She’d [G]rather [D/F#]have a [Em]million stars in the [Am7]sky than a [C]gold [D]mine[G]
She took the [Am7]moon over [D]Georgia
When it [C]came down to [B7]his world or [Em]mine
She [A7]took the [Am7]moon over [C][D][G]Georgia
Verse
A little [G]country house in [D/F#]need of expansion
It’s a [Em]far cry from his [C]south Georgia mansion
But [Em]we’ve got our [D]own [C]paradise
Shadow [G]dancin’ ‘til dawn with a [D/F#]full moon shinin’
And those [Em]occasional clouds all have a[C] silver linin’
There [Em]really must be [D]something [C]about, that [D]old yellow [G]light
Chorus
And she took the [Am7]moon over [D7sus4][D7]Geor...gia
She’d [G]rather [D/F#]have a [Em]million stars in the [Am7]sky than a [C]gold [D]mine[G]
She took the [Am7]moon over [D]Georgia
When it [C]came down to [B7]his world or [Em]mine
She [A7]took the [Am7]moon over [C][D]Georgia[Em7]
She [A7]took the [Am7]moon over [C][D][G]Georgia
