Well, cold was the night, and hard was the ground,
F C G7sus4 G7
They found her in a small grove of trees,
C F C Am F C/G
And lonesome was the place where Georgia was found,
F C G7sus4
She's too young to be out on the street!
G7 C C (C/B) F
Why wasn't God watching?
G7 C C (C/B) F
Why wasn't God listening?
G7 C G7sus4 G7 C C/D C
Why wasn't God there for Geor - gia Lee?
C F C Am F C/G
Ida said she couldn't keep Georgia from dropping out of school,
F C G7sus4 G7
"I was doing the best that I could,
C F C Am F C/G
Oh, but she just kept running a - way from this world,
F C G7sus4
These children are so hard to raise good!"
G7 C C (C/B) F
Why wasn't God watching?
G7 C C (C/B) F
Why wasn't God listening?
G7 C G7sus4 G7 C C/D C
Why wasn't God there for Geor - gia Lee?
G7sus4 G7 C Em/B F C G7sus4 G7 C Em/B F
Close your eyes, and count to ten, and I--- will go and hide,
G7sus4 G7 Cmaj7 A7 Dm7 G7
But then, be sure to find me, I want you to find me,
C F C F C F C G7sus4
And we'll play all over, we'll play all over, we'll play all over a - gain!
G7 C F C Am F C/G
There's a toad in the witch grass, there's a crow in the corn,
F C G7sus4 G7
Wild flowers on a cross by the road,
C F C Am F C/G
And somewhere a baby is crying for her mom,
F C G7sus4
As the hills turn from green back to gold!
G7 C C (C/B) F
Why wasn't God watching?
G7 C C (C/B) F
Why wasn't God listening?
