[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I've been
feelin' down in Atlanta
Immobile in Alabama
[G]I'd rather be in traction
Than to be here where I [D]am[Dm][G]
[D]Oh, you Georgia red clay
And green Virginia [Dm]pines
[G]I've got to make it home somehow
Before I [D]lose [G]my [D]mind

[Verse 2]
So won't you [A]carry me
back to California
I've [G]been on the road too [D]long
[G]Take me to the [D]West Coast, daddy
An[Dm]d let me be where I belo[G]ng

[Verse 3]
[D]Hey now, [Dm]Philly, [D]you street [Dm]city
Been down by the [D]railroad track
[G]I know you can be a sweet city
But I won't soon be [D]back[Dm][G]
[Dm]Haystack towns and [D]smokestack cities
[Dm]Are nothin' [D]I want t[Dm]o see[G]
My own house on high ground
Is the [D]only place [G]I want to b[D]e
So [Dm]won't you

[Verse 4]
[A]carry me
back to California
I've [G]been on the road too [D]long
[G]Take me to the [D]West Coast, [Dm]daddy
And let me be where [G]I belong
