D                                   G                 D
Tall trees in Georgia they grow so high they shade me so
A          D                  C  G      A
And sadly walking through the thicket I go

[Verse 2]
D                   G                D
The sweetest love I ever had I left aside
A          D           C  G            A
Because I did not want to be any man's bride

[Verse 3]
D                     G              D
But now I'm older and married I would be
A          D          C        G             A

[Verse 4]
D                       G              D

A           D     C            G           A
But now I'm older and they've all settled down

[Verse 5]
D                             G                  D
Control your mind my girl and give your heart to one
 A               D                 C       G        A
For if you love all men you'll be surely left with none

[Verse 6]
D                                  G                  D
Tall trees in Georgia they grow so high they shade me so
A          D                  C  G      D
And sadly walking through the thicket I go
