Verse 1
Georgia on a Fast Train
Verse
On a [G]rainy Wednesday morning, that's the [C]day that I was born
in that old [G]sharecroppers one room country [D]shack
They [G]say my mammy left me, [C]same day before she had me
Said she [G]hit the road and [D]never once looked [G]back
And now, [G]I just thought I'd mention, my [C]Grandma's old age pension
is the [G]reason why I'm standing here [D]today
I got [G]all my country learning, [C]milkin' and a churnin'
Pickin' [G]cotton, rasin' [D]hell, and bailin' [G]hay
Chorus
[G] I've been to Georgia on a [C]fast train, honey
[G] I wasn’t born no [D]yesterday
Got a [G]good Christian raisin' and an [C]eighth grade education
Ain't no [G]need in y'all a [D]treatin' me this [G]way
Verse
And now [G]sweet Caroline, I don't [C]guess I'll ever find
Another [G]woman put together like you [D]are
With your [G]wiggle and your walkin', and your [C]big city talkin'
Your [G]brand new shiny [D]Plymouth rag-top [G]car
Yeah it's [G]hurry up and wait, in this [C]world of give and take
Seems like [G]haste makes for waste every [D]time
And I [G]declare to my soul, when you [C]hear those ages roll
You better [G]know I'm gonna [D]get my share of [G]mine
Chorus
And I've [G]been to Georgia on a [C]fast train honey
[G] I wasn’t born no [D]yesterday
Got a [G]good Christian raisin' and an [C]eighth grade education
Ain't no [G]need in y'all a [D]treatin' me this [G]way
Outro
[G] I've been to Georgia on a [C]fast train honey
[G] I wasn’t born no [D]yesterday
Got a [G]good Christian raisin' and an [C]eighth grade education
Ain't no [G]need in y'all a [D]treatin' me this [G]way
Ain't no [G]need in y'all a [D]treatin' me this [G]way
