The song also sounds great when only power chords are used throughout the pre-chorus and chorus.
But for the verses, power chords are the best.

Verse I:
E5
When I passed that city limit sign
E5 B5 B5
I knew that I was finally on my own
E5
So I put my foot down on the gas
E5 B5 B5
To see how fast those wheels could get me going
Pre-Chorus:
G
Everything about that place made me who I am
A
But they say once you leave you can't go back again
Chorus:
Bm G
So I took it with me: that cloud of red dust rolling up
D A
That Georgia blue sky, setting sun, straight up highway forty-one
Bm G
I took it with me: that wild street, that fighting sight
D
That born to run on a Friday night
A A
That standing tall small town pride
Bm G D A
I took it with me
Play Lead #1
Verse II:
E5
They say this world can change you fast
E5 B5 B5
And kick you right on back where you belong
E5
So I roll my sleeves up every day
E5 B5 B5
'Cause that's just what you do where I come from
Pre-Chorus:
G
Everything I ever knew I bottled up inside
A
When I need a shot of back home, it ain't hard to find
Chorus:
Bm G
'Cause I took it with me, that cloud of red dust rolling up
D A
That Georgia blue sky, setting sun, straight up highway forty-one
Bm G
I took it with me, that wild street, that fighting sight
D
That born to run on a Friday night
A A
That standing tall small town pride
Bm G D A
I took it with me
Bridge:
G
I'd be a thousand miles away
But it's still crystal clear
A
I see that picture in my mind
I keep it right here
Chorus:
Bm G
'Cause took it with me, that cloud of red dust rolling up
D A
That Georgia blue sky, setting sun, straight up highway forty-one
Bm G
I took it with me, that wild street, that fighting sight

That born to run on a Friday night
A A
That standing tall small town pride
Bm G D A
I took it with me
