  Verse 1:

       A                                       D  

  	On a rainy,windy morning that's the day that i was born on

                       A                              E

  	In the old sharecroppers one room country shack

                A                    D   

  	They say my mammy left me,same day that she had me

                    A                E                 A

  	Said she hit the road and never once looked back

       A                                      D             

  	And i just thought i'd mention,my Grandma's old age pension

                  A                              E 

  	Is the reason why i'm standing here today

                A                        D 

  	I got all my country learning,living and a churning

                   A             E                A

  	Pickin' cotton,rasin' hell,and bailin' hay

  

  

  Chorus:

       A                             D 

  	I've been to Georgia on a fast train honey

          A                       E    

  	I wudn't born no yesterday

                  A                            D     

  	Got a good Christian raisin' and an eighth grade education

                    A                E               A

  	Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way

  

  

  Verse 3:

       A                                  D

  	And now sweet Caroline,i don't guess i'll ever find

                   A                          E

  	Another woman put together like you all

                     A                                D 

  	With your wiggle and your walkin',and your big city talkin'

                 A               E               A  

  	Your brand new shiny Plymouth rag-top car

  

  

  Verse 4:

       A                                       D

  	Yeah it's hurry up and wait,in this world of give and take

                      A                           E  

  	Seems like haste makes for waste every time

                  A                       D  

  	And i pray to my soul,when you hear those ages roll

               A                     E               A 

  	You better know i'm gonna get my share of mine

  

  

  Chorus.(x2)

  

                    A                E               A                  

  	Ain't no need in y'all a treatin' me this way
