Alright, thank you.
I really enjoy doing these tunes or songs I've written and I'm glad you like them.
Let's go to Georgia on the Fast Train now.
[A]
[D] [A]
On a rainy, windy morning, [D] that's the day that I was born
In [A] that old sheriff's office, one room, [E] country shack
[A] They say my mammy left [D] me, say that she had me
[A] They say she hit the [Em] road and never [A] once looked back
And I oughta sought out a mansion, [Dm] my grandma's old age pension
[A] Is the reason why I'm standing [E] here today
[A] I got all my country learning, [D] and milking and a churning
[A] To get cotton, [E] raisin, hay, and [A] baling hay
I've been to Georgia [D] on the fast train, honey
[A] I wasn't born till yesterday
I'm a good Christian raising [D] man, eighth grade education
[A] Ain't no beating [E] y'all, preaching [A] me this way
In [D]
[A] [E] [A]
our sweet Carolina [D] home, guess I'll ever find
Another [A] woman put together [Em] like you are
I love [A] your wiggling, your walking, and [D] your big city talking
[A] Your brand [E] new, shiny, plumber's rack [A] top car
And it's hurry [C] up and [D] wait, in this world [F#] of give and take
[A] Seems like haste can make for waste every time
I like playing to my soul, [D] when you [Em] hear those ages grow
You better know I'm [E] gonna get my [A] share of mine
I've been to Georgia [D] on the fast train, honey
[A] I wasn't born till [E] yesterday
I'm a [A] good Christian raising [D] man, eighth grade education
[A] Ain't no beating [E] y'all, preaching me [A] this way
