Verse 1
(D major) (A major) I've
(D major) been to Georgia on a (G major) fast train,
honey I (D major) wasn't born till yesterday
(A major) I got a (D major) good Christian raisin'
And an (G major) eighth grade education
Ain't no (D major) need for y 'all to
(A major) treat me this (D major) way
On a rainy Wednesday morning
That's the (G major) day that I was born
in that old (D major) sharecropper's one
-room country shack (A major) .
They (D major) say my mama left me the
(G major) day before she had me,
said she hit the road
(D major) and (A major) never once (D major) looked back.
I just thought I'd mention
my (G major) grandma's old -age pension
is the (D major) reason why I'm standing here today. (A major)
I got all (D major) my country learning,
(G major) milking and a -churning,
picking cot (D major) ton, raising cane,
(A major) and a -bailing hay. (D major) (G major)
Well, (D major) I've been to Georgia
on a (G major) fast train,
honey
I (D major) wasn't born, yesterday
(A major) I got a (D major) good Christian raisin'
And an (G major) eighth -grade education
Ain't no (D major) needin' y 'all to (A major) treat me
this (D major) way (G major) (D major)
(A major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
(A major) (D major)
Now, sweet Carolina,
I don't (G major) guess I'll ever
find another wo (D major) man
put together like you (A major) are.
I like your (D major) wiggling, your walking,
and your (G major) big city talking,
and your (D major) brand new shiny
Ply (A major) mouth ragtop (D major) car.
Well, it's hurry up and wait
in this world (G major) of give and take.
It seems like (D major) haste,
it makes for waste every time.
(A minor) I declare (D major) to my soul,
when you hear (G major) those ages roll
You better know (D major) I'm gonna
get (A major) my share of mine (D major)
Well, it's I've been to
Georgia on a (G major) fast train,
honey
I (D major) wasn't born no yesterday (A major)
(A minor) I (A major) got a (D major) good Christian raising
and (G major) an eighth -grade education
Ain't no need for (D major) y 'all to (A major) treat me this (D major) way
I said, I've been to Georgia
on a (G major) fast train,
I was (D major) n't born no yesterday, (A major)
(A minor) I got (A major) a (D major) good Christian religion
and an (G major) eighth grade education,
ain't no (D major) meeting y 'all was
(A major) treating me this (D major) way. (G major) (D major)
I've been to Georgia on a (G major) fast train,
wasn't (D major) born no yesterday, (A major)
I got a (D major) good Christian
And an (G major) eighth grade education,
there ain't no need for y
(D major) 'all to treat me this way.
