I Been to Georgia on a Fast Train Chords by Billy Joe Shaver

_ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ Old Rainy Wednesday morning, [Eb] that's the day that I was born
[Bb] In that old Sherry Cropper's one-room [F] country shack
_ It's [Bb] the day my mammy left [Eb] me, the day before she had me
[Bb] Says she hit the [F] road and never [Bb] wants to look back
And I just thought I'd mention, [Eb] my grandma's old age pension
[Bb] Is the reason why I'm standing [Fm] here [F] today
I [Bb] got all my country learning, [Eb] milking and a-churning
[Bb] Picking cotton, [F] reeding, hailing, [Bb] baling hay _ _
I pimped Georgia [Bbm] on a fast train, honey
[Bb]
I wasn't born no [Cm] yesterday
_ [Bb] Got a good Christian raising [Bbm] and a great education
[Bb] And on meeting [F] y'all, treating [Bb] me this way _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Bbm] _ [Bb] And now, sweet Carolina, [Eb] I don't guess I'll ever find
[Bb] Another woman put together [F] like you are
_ [Bb] Oh, you're wiggling, you're walking, [Eb] and you're big city talking
[Bb] Your friend, your [F] shiny Plymouth [Bb] ragtop car
_ Let's hurry up and wait in [Eb] this world of give and take
[Bb] Seems like haste makes for waste of time
[F] I [Bb] declare to my soul, [Eb] when you're here on this road
You better know I'm [F] gonna get my [Bbm] share of mine
[Bb] _ And now, I'm in Georgia [Eb] on a fast train, honey
[Bb]
I wasn't born no [F] yesterday
_ _ [Bb] Got a good Christian raising [Eb] and a great education
[Bb] And on [Fm] meeting y'all, treating me [Bb] this way _ _ _
