San Francisco Maybel Joy chords

My [D]daddy was an honest man,[G] just a redneck Georgia farm [D]boy
My momma spent her short life raisin' kids and bailin' [A]hay
And [D]I was just fifteen,[G] when I ached inside to [D]wonder
So I hoped a freight in Waycross, and I [C]rode [B]it to L.[A]A.
[D]Well, I met a girl known on the strip[G] , as San Francisco?s Maybel [D]Joy
Destitution?s child, born on a L.A. street called [A]Shane
And [D]sleep came and left,[G] this little Waycross, Georgia country [D]boy
Maybel Joy was gone Lord, I?d [C]never see [B]her [A]again
[G]Growin? up came quietly in the arms of Maybel [D]Joy
Laughter found our morning's, brought new meaning to my [A]life
[G]I woke up one day, Lord, to find that I was [D]by myself
With dreams of Georgia cotton[A] , and California [D]wine
Sunday [G]mornin' found me standin' 'neath the red-light of her d[D]oor
Right Cross sent me reelin', laid me face down on the [A]floor
In [G]place of Maybel Joy I found a merchant mad [D]marine
Who said, "your Georgia neck is red, but, son here [C]your [B]still [A]green."

[D]Well, I turned twenty-one[G] , in Grey Rock federal[D] prison
The judge, he had no mercy on this [C]Way[B]cross, Georgia [A]boy
[D]Sometimes at night,[G] in silence Lord I'd [D]listen
That same old freight to take me [A]back to Maybel [D]Joy
[G]Cold nights had no pity on this Waycross, Georgia [D]farm boy
Springtime turned to summer, and then the winter [A]came
[G]Starin' at those four grey walls in silence Lord, I'd [D]listen
Somewhere in the distance to the whistle of the [A]train
[G]Sunday mornin' found me standin' 'neath the red-light o[D]f her door
With a bullet in my side I cried "have you seen Maybel [A]Joy
[G]Stunned and shaken someone said, "son, she don't live here [D]no more"
She left this town ten years ago, [C]I heard she's [B]lookin? [A]for
Some Georgia [G]farm boy. [D] [G] [D]
