Blood Red and Goin' Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]That Georgia sun was blood
red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was [F]blood
red and [G]goin' down

[Verse 2]
[G]Daddy said, "Now come girl
We're headed down
the road to Augusta"
And frankly through his clenched teeth
He called Mama's name
and then he cussed her

[Verse 3]
[C]He said, "Girl, you're young
But some dude has come along
and stole your [G]mother"
But you can't steal a willin' mind
'Cause [D]mama's always
lookin' for a [G]lover

[Verse 4]
That [G]Georgia sun was blood
red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was [F]blood
red and [G]goin' down

[Verse 5]
With [G]dusty teardrops on his face
My daddy cried an' big steps
he was takin'
Halfway runnin' to keep up
My shorter legs were so tired

[Verse 6]
and shakin'
[C]"Where did I go wrong, girl?
Why would she leave us both this [G]way?"
At times like these, a child of ten
[D]Never knows exactly what to [G]say

[Verse 7]
That [G]Georgia sun was blood
red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was [F]blood red
and [G]goin' down
[Ab]

[Verse 8]
We searched in every barroom
An' honky-tonk as as well
An' finally daddy found them
And Lord, you know,
the rest is hard to tell

[Verse 9]
He sen[Db]t me out to wait
But scared I looked back
through the [Ab]door
An' daddy left them both
Soak[Eb]in' up the sawdust on the floor
[Ab]

[Verse 10]
That Georgia sun was blood
red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was [Gb]blood
red and [Ab]goin' down
That Georgia sun was blood
red and goin' down
That Georgia sun was [Gb]blood
red and goin' down
[Ab]
