She stands there in the doorway

G
Of a cheap hotel and both have seen their day
G7
C
Onetime southern beauty filled her eyes
D7
G
But now there’s just a trace
D7
Sometimes for almost nothing
G
She offers her love to passers by
C
Am
She’s an old and fading sunset
D7
G
That once lit up the whole Savannah sky
C
It’s still there upon her lips
G
In the movement of her hips
D7
G
And though she’s twenty years past a lady
C
Her love once was in demand
G
It bought diamonds for her hand
C
D7
G
But now she can’t give it away
C

G
Lies a man with a woman he don’t love
G7
C
But his thoughts go back to a pretty Georgia girl
D7
G
When all he had was not enough
D7
He remembers all the good times
G
And the pleasures she gave him in the night
C
Am
God he loved that woman
D7
G
That once lit up the whole Savannah sky
C
It’s still there upon her lips
G
In the movement of her hips
D7
G
And though she’s twenty years past a lady
C
Her love once was in demand
G
It bought diamonds for her hand
C
D7
G
But now she can’t give it away
C
D7
G
Now she can’t give it away
