■  ■   ■  Cold was the night ■  and hard was the ground
           Gb             Db       Absus4 Ab7
They found her in a small grove of trees  ■  
Db               Gb  Db    Bbm           Db       
And lonesome was the place where Georgia was found
Gb                    Db         Absus4
She's too young to be out on the street

Why wasn't God watching
Gb Absus4         Db

Wild flowers on a cross by the road ■     
Ab7     Db        Gb Db      Gb                 Db
■   And somewhere a  baby is crying for her mom ■ 
       Gb              Db            Absus4
As the hills turn from green back to gold
