Slow Train Through Georgia - Norman Blake
[Intro]
C C C C C C C C G G G G C C C C
C G C
Down by the county bridge the gondolas roll
F C
Hauling down to Biringham the dirty half-slag coal
F C
I should let her move me on come sunshine, rain or drought
C G C
'Cause just like the circle says Southern serves the south
[Chorus]
C G C
Hardships and troubles, don't you know I've had some
F C
Getting older every day I'm a fairweather bum
F C
Let me tell you good people here, it's just about time
C G C
To catch a slow train through Georgia and ease a worried mind
C C C C C C C C G G G G C C C C
C G C
Forty miles an hour she's rolling down the line
F C
Greasy rail, red clay trails through the long leaf pines
F C
Anyplace that the sunshine falls is where I long to be
C G C
Sunshine southern special won't you roll me to the sea
[Chorus]
C G C
Hardships and troubles, don't you know I've had some
F C
Getting older every day I'm a fairweather bum
F C
Let me tell you good people here, it's just about time
C G C
To catch a slow train through Georgia and ease a worried mind
C C C C C C C C G G G G C C C C
[Verse 3]
C G C
Lord I wish was living day by day someplace down the track
F C
Come on gal my old pal, Lord you know we'll not look back
F C
I'll down take this old guitar I'll play her every day
C G C
Let the slow train through Georgia roll my blues away
[Chorus]
C G C
Hardships and troubles, don't you know I've had some
F C
Getting older every day I'm a fairweather bum
F C
Let me tell you good people here, it's just about time
