[D] [A] I'm going to be here with you all the time.
[D] _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ On a rainy, windy morning, [D] that's the day that I was born in [A] that old sharecropper's
one-room [E] country shack.
_ [A] Just say my mammy left me, [D] same day that she had me, [A] says she hit the [E] road and never [A] wants
to look back.
_ And I, that's all I can imagine, [D] my grandma's old age pension [A] is the reason why I'm [E] standing here today.
[A] I got all my country learning, [D] milking and a-churning, [A] picking [G#m] cotton, raising hay, and [A] mailing hay. _ _
I've been to [G] Georgia [D] on a fast train, honey, [A]
I wouldn't have [E] known no yesterday.
_ [B] _ [A] Got a good, crispy raisin [D] and eighth-grade education, [A] ain't no [E] need in y'all treating
me [A] this way. _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ And how sweet Carolina, [D] I don't guess I'll ever find [A] another woman put together [E] like you are.
I [A] love your whistling, your [G] walking, [D] and your big city talking, [A] your brand new, [E] shiny
Plymouth [A] ragtime car.
_ Well, let's [Bm] hurry [C#] up and wait [D] in this [G] world of give and [A] take, seem like a [Bm] hasty, [A] maceful
waste every [G] time.
_ [A] And I swear to my soul, [D] when you hear those ages roar, you [A] better know I'm [E] going to get
my [A] share of mine.
And now I've been to Georgia [D] on a fast train, honey, [A]
I wouldn't have known no [E] yesterday.
[G] _ Got [A] a good, crispy raisin [D] and eighth-grade education, [A] ain't no [E] need in y'all treating
me [A] this way. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [A] Oh, throw down at it,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
I've been to Georgia [D] on a fast train, honey, [A]

_ _ [A] Got a good, crispy raisin [D] and eighth-grade education, [A] ain't no need in [E] y'all treating
[A] me this way.
_ [E] Ain't no need in y'all treating [A] me this way.
