[Verse]
         C   G      Em           
Cold was the night, hard was the 
G
ground
     C              G              
They found her in a small grove of 
D
trees
G            C   G           Em
Lonesome was the place where 
          G
Georgia was found
          C           G          
She's too young to be out on the 
D
street

[Chorus]
    G          C
Why wasn't god watching?
    D          G
Why wasn't god listening?
    C          G         D       
Why wasn't god there for Georgia 
G
Lee?

[Verse]
             C    G          
Ida couldn't keep Georgia from 
  Em              G
dropping out of school
      C         G           D
I was doing the best that I could
G        C    G        Em      
She just kept running away from
      G
 this world

      C               G           
These children are so hard to 
  D
raise good

[Chorus]
    G          C
Why wasn't god watching?
    D          G
Why wasn't god listening?
    C          G         D       
Why wasn't god there for Georgia

Lee?

[Bridge]
D          G        C        G
Close your eyes and count to ten
D      G      C         D
I will go and hide, but then
G          C
Be sure to find me
                   D
I want you to find me
          G        C
And we'll play all over
      G        C
We'll play all over
      G        C     G
We'll play all over again

[Verse]
                  C   G           
There's a toad in the witch-grass,
           Em          G
 there's a crow in the corn
     C            G            D
Wild flowers on a cross by the road
    G         C G       Em      
And somewhere a baby is crying 
       G
for her mom
       C               G          
As the hills turn from green back 
   D
to gold

[Chorus]
    G          C
Why wasn't god watching?
    D          G
Why wasn't god listening?
    C          G         D       
Why wasn't god there for Georgia 
G
Lee?

[Chorus]
               C
Why wasn't god watching?
    D          G
Why wasn't god listening?
    C          G         D       
Why wasn't god there for Georgia 
G
Lee?
