********************* GEORGIA ON A FAST TRAIN ********************

written and performed by Billy Joe Shaver.

Verse 1:

A D

On a rainy,windy morning that's the day that i was born on

A E

In the old sharecroppers one room country shack

A D

They say my mammy left me,same day that she had me

A E A

Said she hit the road and never once looked back

Verse 2:

A D

And i just thought i'd mention,my Grandma's old age pension

A E

Is the reason why i'm standing here today

A D

I got all my country learning,living and a churning

A E A

Pickin' cotton,rasin' hell,and bailin' hay

Chorus:

A D

I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey

A E

I wudn't born no yesterday

A D

Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education

A E A

Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

Verse 3:

A D

And now sweet Caroline,i don't guess i'll ever find

A E

Another woman put together like you all

A D

With your wiggle and your walkin',and your big city talkin'

A E A

Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car

Verse 4:

A D

Yeah it's hurry up and wait,in this world of give and take

A E

Seems like haste makes for waste every time

A D

And i pray to my soul,when you hear those ages roll

A E A

You better know i'm gonna get my share of mine

Chorus.(x2)

A E A

Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
