Georgia Moon Chords
Georgia Moon by Shakey Graves is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of G with a capo on the 5st fret. It uses the chords G, F, Am, E, C, E7 and Dm. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
These chords follow the recorded version on the "Roll The Bones" album with the
Capo on 5th fr (though live versions have the capo elsewhere).
Live, sometimes he throws a G between the F & c in the verse.
And he also uses an Am E F C progression to get back to the C from the F in the
Instrumental transitions.
...seriously everytime you play it, its a complete f'n roll of the dice...
...love this song...
