             G (320003@1)                  C (x32010@1) 
        They say my mammy left me, same day that she had me
                  G (320003@1)             D (xx0232@1)                G (320003@1)       Said she hit the road and never once looked back
          G (320003@1)                                C (x32010@1)

                G (320003@1)             D (xx0232@1)               G (320003@1)       Pickin' cotton, rasin'  hell, and bailin' hay

G (320003@1)                       C (x32010@1)        I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey
        G (320003@1)                     D (xx0232@1)  
        I wasn't born no yesterday

        Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education
                 G (320003@1)              D (xx0232@1)              G (320003@1)       Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

G (320003@1)                     C (x32010@1)       And now sweet Caroline, I don't guess I'll ever find
                G (320003@1)                         D (xx0232@1)       Another woman put together like you are 
                  G (320003@1)                                 C (x32010@1)        With your wiggle and your walkin', and your big city talkin'
                                                                                      
           G (320003@1)             D (xx0232@1)             G (320003@1)
        Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car

G (320003@1)                            C (x32010@1)       Yeah it's hurry up and wait, in this world of give and take
          G (320003@1)                                  D (xx0232@1)
        Seems like haste makes for waste every time
              G (320003@1)                         C (x32010@1)
        And i pray to my soul, when you hear those ages roll
                                                                                          
         G (320003@1)                   D (xx0232@1)              G (320003@1)        You better know I'm gonna get that share of mine

Chorus.(x2)
