Biography:
Shakey Graves, aka Alejandro Rose-Garcia from Austin, Texas, plays a gnarly composite of blues and folk as a one-man-band of epic sonic proportions. The sound emitted from his hollow body guitar, mildly distorted amp and suitcase drum belie the young singer’s lean frame. He fingerpicks while keeping time with a double-pedal kick drum, hitting a snare fitted into his suitcase drum and a tambourine fashioned to its side. And when he sings, Rose-Garcia unleashes an unearthly howl.

...so the thing (and the beauty) if this song is that the dude plays it a little
different every time (which totally means that you have every right to). And the
timing/cadence is a little bit iffy.

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...
[Intro]
C E7 F C
[Verse 1]
C E7 F C
...doin' 85 going north on 81
C E7 F C
...won't see my baby 'til the rising of the sun
C E7 F C
Tennessee keeps warnin’ me if I "Booze It" I might "Lose it"
[Chorus]
Dm G
but shine on Georgia Moon!
Dm G C
Shine on!
[Transition]
E7 F
Dm G C
[Verse 2]
C E7 F C
It's hard to see the road through this rain and all the fog
C E7 F C
This Appalachian drivin' has me tired as a dog
C E7 F C
But this mason full of moonshine gonna keep me mighty strong
[Chorus]
Dm G
so shine on Georgia Moon!
Dm G C
Shine on!
[Transition]
E7 F
Dm G
Dm G C
E7 F
E7 F C
[Verse 3]
C E7 F C
So loosen up the lid and open up the throttle
C E7 F C
You wanna see the light? Ain't gonna find it in a bottle
[Bridge]
Dm G
'cause when I’m sippin’ on a jar
Dm G C
the road ain't quite so long
E7 F E7 C
[eff it...finish it however you like with some C / Am / E / E7 / F / Dm...whatever the
f'...it's different every time]
so shine on Georgia Moon!
Shine on!
