             A            D/A A
When it's springtime down in Georgia
      A/C#       A/C#   D
It's winter time up in Maine
        C#m             F#m
You can go from snow to sunshine
        A                   D
If you board a southbound train
        A         D/A  A
You get used to taking orders
         A/C#
But it's sometimes kind of rough
      C#m               F#m
I got everything that a man could need
         A                 D
But it still ain't quite enough

Chorus:
             A  D/A  A   A       A/C#    D
Taking about oh Georgia take me to your Southlands
   A                 F#m     E      D
I sometimes feel my life is rolling on
A  D/A  A   A       A/C#         D
Oh Georgia lead me through your heartlands
   A       E/G#    F#m       E      D    E
I need to see them one more time before I'm gone

When it's nighttime down in Georgia
It's daytime in L.A
Where they never seem to do much
But they sure got lots to say
The times are changing down in Georgia
Though not always for the best
Give me thirty five good acres lord
And let progress take the rest

Chorus

Oh Georgia take me to your Southlands
I sometimes feel that life has passed me by
Oh Georgia lead me through your heartlands
I need to see them one more time before I die - x2
