[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[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
           C                              G              C
To catch a slow train through Georgia and ease a worried mind
