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

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

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

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


Chorus.(x2)
