C        G               C                    G                  C 
Way down in the state of Georgia, amongst the swamps and the everglades 
                  F              C         Am 
There?s a big old hole, in Tiger Mountain. 
              C             G                 C 
God, help the man, who gets lost, in Miller?s Cave. 
 
 
verse 2 
C          G                  C                G              C 
I had me a girl, in Waycross, Georgia, but she had unfaithful ways 
            F             C       Am 
She made me feel, I was unwanted, 
         C             G                 C 
Like the bats, and the bears in Miller?s Cave. 
 
 
Solo 
 
verse 3  
C                 G      C                  G                  C 
I caught her out, Sunday morning, with some guy, they call Big Dave, 
            F                 C        Am 
The meanest man, in Waycross, Georgia. 
           C                G                 C 
I?d rather fight a mountain lion, in Miller?s Cave. 
 
 
Spoken   
C                       G                 C 
So I said, you?re gonna pay; both you and Dave, 
G                               C 
Cause I?m gonna see you in your grave. 
                     F          C          Am 
Then they laughed at me; then I shot them. 
                   C                  G                  C 
Then dragged their cheating, skin and bones, to Miller?s Cave. 
 
 
Solo 
 
 
verse 4 
C                 G           C                        G                 C 
I couldn?t stand, the way she did me.  Well, I guess I showed her, I was brave. 
             F                    C        Am 
?Most Wanted Man? in the state of Georgia,   
                    C                 G                 C 
They?re never gonna find me cause I?m lost, in Miller?s Cave.
