[Going Back to Georgia (N. Griffith, A. Duritz, & B. Claffin)]
EAEAB7B7EB7
(female) EA Oh the city snow makes your brown eyes shine EA We've gotta look real hard to find a reason to cry B7EB7 New York, New York is a friend to the traveling kind
And I'm coming around from years of hard times He's chased me down through the towns and the miles Once stilled by love he was bound to roll on by
AEAE Chorus: And if you feel my love won't leave you DbmAB And if your sorrow - has been your share EAEAE If you are traveling - back to Georgia B7 (no chord) E Won't you take - me with you there
EAEAB7B7EB7
(male) Well I'm long gone darling, lonesome blue I been thinking of leaving, I been thinking of you But that big city singing, man I like the way that it shines
Iwas half a mile from Canada waiting on a train Wondering and wishing I could disappear again I been killed by love still it takes me to the end of the line
-CHORUS-
(female) I've been troubled by a love untrue Its a fool who will drown in his fountain of youth I can see that now as I'm walking and talking with you
(male) I been blinded by the sun, wasted in the rain Scattered in America, and I'm scatterin' again But if you're going south darling, I guess I'm traveling with you
-CHORUS- (x2 and fade out with "Take me with you")
