So it comes to the end of the day 
Em                        D 
I'm checking out of my hotel room today. 
Am                              G 
It's been two years since I've seen your face 
    D 
The girl beside me reminds me of how you taste. 
G                              Bm 
Since I've seen you I've been beaten down and bruised 
Em                         D 
And every day I'm feelin' more and more misused. 
Am                           G 
I never thought that I would be without your love 
D 
Years gone by you're still the one I'm thinkin' of 
 
 
Chorus: 
C                     G 
Sweet Savannah, you shine so bright. 
D                             G 
May the evening bring you're favorite night. 
C                         G 
Sweet Savannah, you been gone so long 
F                   D 
But I've got to move on... 
 
G                            Bm 
It's gettin' cold, I put my jacket on your back 
Em                                  D 
And we smoke a cigarette, the last one in the pack. 
Am                G 
I still remember exactly what you said... 
D     
You had demons that you couldn't put to bed. 
G                           Bm 
Now I'm leavin', yeah, I'm movin' out west 
Em                               D 
And it's time for us to lay our history to rest. 
Am                  G 
I still remember a teardrop in your eye 
D 
But you know I couldn't stand to see you cry... 
 
 
Chorus: 
C                     G 
Sweet Savannah, you shine so bright. 
D                             G 
May the evening bring you're favorite night. 
C                         G 
Sweet Savannah, you been gone so long 
F                   D 
But I've got to move on... 
 
Am  D  Am  D  Am  D 
 
G                        Bm 
So now I close on this Hollywood night 
            Em                            D         
Where this counterculture cultivates an emptiness inside. 
Am                                 G 
Would it be different if you were still here in my life? 
D 
Would I be sober and would you be my wife? 
 
 
Chorus: 
C                     G 
Sweet Savannah, you shine so bright. 
D                             G 
May the evening bring you're favorite night. 
C                         G 
Sweet Savannah, you been gone so long 
F                   D 
But I've got to move on...
