{title: I've been to Georgia on a fast train}
{composer: Willie Nelson}

It was a [G]rainy Wednesday morning on the [C]day that I was born
in that old [G]sharecropper's wondering' country [D]shack
Well they [G]say my mammy left me on the [C]same day that she had me
she [G]hit the road an' she [D]never once looked [G]back

[G]I just thought that I might mention thgat my [C]grandma's old age pension,
it's the [G]reason I'm sittin' here [D]today

{soc}
[G]  I've been to Georgia on a [C]fast train honey
[G]  I wasn't born no yester[D]day
I got a [G]good Christian raisin', [C]eight grade education
Ain't no [G]need in y'all [D]treatin' me this [G]way
{eoc}

Well now my [G]woman, Carolina, I don't [C]guess I'll ever find
another [G]lady put together like you [D]are
I lvoe that a'[G]wiggle in your walk and all o'your [C]big city talk
and that [G]brand new shiny [D]Plymouth ragtime car

Well now it's [G]hurry up and wait in this [C]world of give and take
It seems like [G]haste makes waste every [D]time
But I [G]swear to my soul, when you [C]hear the engines roll,
You better [G]know I'm gonna [D]get my share o' [G]mine

[G]  I've been to Georgia on a [C]fast train honey
[G]  I wasn't born no yester[D]day
I got a [G]good Christian raisin', [C]eight grade education
Ain't no [G]need in y'all [D]treatin' me this [G]way
I got a [G]good Christian raisin', [C]eight grade education
Ain't no [G]need in y'all [D]treatin' me this [G]way
There ain't no [G]need in y'all [D]treatin' me this [G]way
