[Verse]
C G Em G
Cold was the night, hard was the ground
C G D
They found her in a small grove of trees
G C G Em G
Lonesome was the place where Georgia was found
C G D
She's too young to be out on the street
[Chorus]
G C
Why wasn't god watching?
D G
Why wasn't god listening?
C G D G
Why wasn't god there for Georgia Lee?
[Verse]
C G Em G
Ida couldn't keep Georgia from dropping out of school
C G D
I was doing the best that I could
G C G Em G
She just kept running away from this world
C G D
These children are so hard to raise good
[Chorus]
G C
Why wasn't god watching?
D G
Why wasn't god listening?
C G D G
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 Em G
There's a toad in the witch-grass, there's a crow in the corn
C G D
Wild flowers on a cross by the road
G C G Em G
And somewhere a baby is crying for her mom
C G D
As the hills turn from green back to gold
[Chorus]
G C
Why wasn't god watching?
D G
Why wasn't god listening?
C G D G
Why wasn't god there for Georgia Lee?
[Chorus]
C
Why wasn't god watching?
D G
Why wasn't god listening?
C G D G
Why wasn't god there for Georgia Lee?
