 Georgia on a Fast Train         
         F                           F  
        On a rainy ,windy morning that's the day that I was born on
               F                                  G
        In the old sharecroppers one room country shack
             F                    F   
        They say my mammy left me, same day that she had me
                  F               G                  F
        Said she hit the road and never once looked back
          F                                  F             
        And i just thought i'd  mention, my Grandma's old age pension
                 F                            G 
        Is the reason why i'm standing here today
               F                        F 
        I got all my country learning, living and a churning
                F               G                 F
        Pickin' cotton, rasin'  hell, and bailin' hay

          F                         F 
        I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey
        F                       G    
        I wasn’t born no yesterday
               F                             F  
        Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
                 F                G                F
        Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

                F                       F
        And now sweet Caroline, I don't guess I'll ever find
                F                           G
        Another woman put together like you are 
                  F                                   F 
        With your wiggle and your walkin', and your big city talkin'
                                                                                      
           F               G               F  
        Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car

                  F                              F
        Yeah it's hurry up and wait, in this world of give and take
          F                                    G  
        Seems like haste makes for waste every time
              F                           F  
        And i pray to my soul, when you hear those ages roll
                                                                                          
         F                     G                F 
        You better know I'm gonna get that share of mine
