Topic: Down to Georgia
Growing up in the western part of North Carolina, my family would often take trips to Georgia for one reason or another and I developed a fondness for that great state. So here is that fondness expressed in this song and I hope you all like it and get a chance to visit as well.

Intro
[E]
Verse 1
[E]I like the state I live in
[E]Yes indeed I do
But I’m [E]going down to Georgia
To see just [E7]what it is they do
Down in [G]Georgia
[A]It’s where I’m going [E]to
Verse 2
That [E]got that country living
And [E]city life as well
Not [E]sure which one’s better
It’s a [E7]little hard to tell
Down in [G]Georgia
[A]Where they live real [E]well
From the [G]Chattahoochee River
To [E]Savannah on the coast
Where [A]good people at good places
[B7]Have a right to boast
Down in [E]Georgia
Verse 3
The [E]city of Atlanta I heard
Was [E]burned back in the day
Now [E]some folks come to visit
While [E7]others like to stay
Down in [G]Georgia
[A]I’ll be heading that [E]way
Verse 4
Now in [E]Columbus and Augusta
Live many [E]military families
Brave [E]men and women strong and proud
Pro[E7]tecting the lives we lead
Down in [G]Georgia
[A]Where they’re proud and they're [E]free
From the [G]Chattahoochee River
To [E]Savannah on the coast
Where [A]good people at good places
[B7]Have a right to boast
Down in [E]Georgia
Verse 5
[E]In their mountain foothills
Starts the [E]Appalachian Trail
Where [E]people come and hike to Maine
[E7]If their feet don’t fail
Down in [G]Georgia
[A]Where they start of that fabled [E]trail
Verse 6
[E]Well it has been a while
But I can [E]find my way around
I can [E]navigate to Peachtree Street
And At[E7]lanta’s underground
Down in [G]Georgia
[A]Going to see what’s going [E]down
From the [G]Chattahoochee River
To [E]Savannah on the coast
Where [A]good people at good places
[B7]Have a right to boast
Down in [E]Georgia
