Title:
“Slanted Sunlight”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1- A, D, G)
[A]Woke up this morning, [D]sun on my face
[G]Heartbeat following the city’s [A]pace
[D]Memories of Georgia, [G]clinging like a trace
[A]Underneath the slanted [D]sunlight’s grace.

(Chorus- G, D, A)
[G]Oh, Slanted Sunlight, [D]carry me home
[A]Through the hustle, [G]through the unknown
[D]Underneath the city lights, [A]where we’ve grown
[G]But the heart still yearns for [D]Georgia’s loam.

(Verse 2- A, D, G)
[A]Traded our green fields for [D]concrete grey
[G]Chasing dreams, we’ve been led [A]astray
[D]Though we’re far, in our hearts it [G]stays
[A]Underneath the slanted [D]sunlight’s haze.

(Chorus- G, D, A)
[G]Oh, Slanted Sunlight, [D]show me the way,
[A]To the roots, where our [G]memories lay,
[D]Underneath the city’s disarray,
[A]It’s Georgia’s sunlight [G]I crave every [D]day.
