    Dm         D          C
The trees grow tall where I come from, their

leaves are green and fine.
Cm    C         G                   D
I was born in a one room shack in a field 
           G
of Georgia Pines.

#2.
D             C            D
I grew up and I grew tired of that one room 
Bm     Cm   C      G             D  
shack, so I went a-wandering and now I wanna 
   G
go back.

CHORUS:
G                      Em              G
Georgia Pines, Georgia Pines, how I've missed 
             Em
that home of mine.
B              Em   G
Up here in the city just a wasting my time.
      C
There ain't nothing green but the rich man's 

money. 
    G                              E
The buildings are so tall that the sun can't 

shine.

Oh, how I wanna go back to my Georgia Pines.
