Sweet Savannah 
by: Shooter Jennings


G                              Bm
So it comes to the end of the day
Em                        D
I'm checking out of my hotel room today.
Am                              G
It's been two years since I've seen your face
    D
The girl beside me reminds me of how you taste.
G                              Bm
Since I've seen you I've been beaten down and bruised
Em                         D
And every day I'm feelin' more and more misused.
Am                           G
I never thought that I would be without your love
D
Years gone by you're still the one I'm thinkin' of


CHORUS:
C                     G
Sweet Savannah, you shine so bright.
D                             G
May the evening bring you're favorite night.
C                         G
Sweet Savannah, you been gone so long
C                   D
But I've got to move on...

G                            Bm
It's gettin' cold, I put my jacket on your back
Em                                  D
And we smoke a cigarette, the last one in the pack.
Am                G
I still remember exactly what you said...
D    
You had demons that you couldn't put to bed.
G                           Bm
Now I'm leavin', yeah, I'm movin' out west
Em                               D
And it's time for us to lay our history to rest.
Am                  G
I still remember a teardrop in your eye
D
But you know I couldn't stand to see you cry...


CHORUS:
C                     G
Sweet Savannah, you shine so bright.
D                             G
May the evening bring you're favorite night.
C                         G
Sweet Savannah, you been gone so long
C                   D
But I've got to move on...

Am  D  Am  D  Am  D

G                        Bm
So now I close on this Hollywood night
            Em                            D        
Where this counterculture cultivates an emptiness inside.
Am                                 G
Would it be different if you were still here in my life?
D
Would I be sober and would you be my wife?


CHORUS:
C                     G
Sweet Savannah, you shine so bright.
D                             G
May the evening bring you're favorite night.
C                         G
Sweet Savannah, you been gone so long
C                   D
But I've got to move on...
