Tom: Am
C C C C C
[Chorus]
C F
Draggin' shackles down in Georgia
G7 C
The mem'ry of her is burnin' up my brain
F
Draggin' shackles down in Georgia
G7 C
That woman's every link in these old chains
[Verse 1]
G7 C
James' House of Jewelry had the ring she liked the most
G7 C
Just the thing I needed to win her hand
E A
Now, James' House of Jewelry is a-missing one fine ring
F G7
James says he isn't sure I bought the ring
[Chorus]
C F
I'm draggin' shackles down in Georgia
G7 C
The mem'ry of hers burnin' up my brain
F
Draggin' shackles down in Georgia
G7 C
That woman's every link in these old chains
[Instrumental]
C
[Verse 2]
G7 C
I get up ev'ry mornin' before the birds begin to sing
G7 C
The only place I see you is in a dream
E A
And the cold chill of a captive heart makes me wish I were dead
F G7
Huntin' down the road with you in my arms, Lord I can't
[Chorus]
C C F
Instead, I'm draggin' shackles down in Georgia
G7 C
The mem'ry of her is burnin' up my brain
F
Draggin' shackles down in Georgia
G7 C
That woman's every link in these old chains
C F
Draggin' shackles down in Georgia
G7 C
The mem'ry of her is burnin' up my brain
F
Draggin' shackles down in Georgia
G7 C
That woman's every link in these old chains
