   G                       C             G
So I went down to Georgia, I was on the fence
      G                    D
About whether I was coming home
       Em         C          G
And I know now, better than before
                          D         G
I don't know, lord, what I'm looking for

      G                       C             G
In his red red rocking chair sitting on the porch
      G                    D
Picking as the bottle runs dry
       Em         C          G
And I go there for the free beer
                        D         G
I don't know lord, what I'm doing here

   G                       C      G
There's a train waiting as I walk tracks
    G            D
Freddy a-callin' me
   Em            C           G
So I climbed on, bottle in my hand
                       D           G
Why I left, lord, I'll never understand

   G                C             G
So I took that ride back to Tennessee
   G                                D
Through the dark, the wind, and the rain
    Em                  C             G
I call that a ride, the depths of the wind
                      D       G
Goes to show you just can't win

   G                    C                   G
Singin' oh my Caroline, I never should have left
   G                                  D
And you shoulda never stayed with me, gal
    Em           C                  G
And I know now, there's two ways to be
                 D           G
Live in love, or die in misery

        G                       C             G
Oh when I went down to Georgia, I was on the fence
      G                    D
About whether I was coming home
       Em         C          G
And I know now, better than before
                         D           G
I don't know, lord, what I'm looking for
       Em         C          G
And I know now, better than before
                         D           G
I don't know, lord, what I'm looking for
