I Been to Georgia On a Fast Train Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
On a rainy [G]Wednesday mornin'
That's [C]the day that I was born in
That [G]old sharecroppin' one-room
country [D]shack
Well, they [G]say my mama left me
The [C]day before she had me
She hit [G]the road and [D]never
once looked [G]back

[Verse 2]
And now I just [G]wanna mention
That my [C]grandma's old-age pension
pension
Is the [G]reason that I'm standin' here [D]today
I got [G]all my country learnin'
Just a-milkin' [C]and and a-churnin'
Pickin' cotton, cotton,
[G]raisin' [D]hell and a balin' [G]hay

[Verse 3]
Yeah, I've [G]been to Georgia
on a [C]fast train
[G]Honey i wasn't born no yester[D]day
I got a [G]good Christian raisin'
[C]And a eighth-grade education
education
Ain't no need [G]in y'all
[D]treatin' me that [G]way

[Verse 4]
[G]
Sweet Carolina
I don't be[C]lieve I'll ever find a
'Nother [G]woman put together like you [D]are
I love [G]the wiggle in your
Walkin' and your [C]big-city talkin'
And And [G]your brand new shiny
Ply[D]mouth [G]ragtop car

[Verse 5]
Now it's-a hurry hurry [G]up and wait in
This [C]world of give and take
Seem like-a haste [G]haste
makes a waste every [D]time
I de[G]clare to my soul
When you [C]hear those ages roll
You better [G]know I'm gonna get
[D]My share [G]of mine

[Verse 6]
[G]Well, I've been to Georgia
on a [C]fast train
[G]Honey i wasn't born no yester[D]day
I got [G]a good Christian raisin'
And a [C]eighth-grade education
education
Ain't no [G]need in [C]y'all [D]treat
in' me that [G]way

[Interlude 1]

That's [C]the day that I was born in
