There?s a (A) town in Georgia, (D) that I once called mine
(A) Just across the muddy water from the (D) Carolina side

(A) I don?t know if it?s (D) really so but I?m (E) goin? back down again
(D) Oh Augusta take me (A) in
(D) Oh Augusta take me (A) in
(A) Savannah river (D) from the overpass
(A) Shinin? bright in the mornin? light
Like a (D) fire in a whiskey glass
(A) I can hear the (D) sirens clear cross the (A) water and around the (D) bend
(A) And I can see that?s it?s (D) gonna be a little (E) hard to make amends

Now I?m (A) standin on the shoulder, of (D) Sandbar Ferry road
(A) Starin? down at the same old ground that I (D) used to walk before

(D) Oh Augusta take me (A) in
(Bm) Cause I just can?t seem to (E) win

(D) Oh Augusta take me (A) in

(D) Oh Augusta take me (A) in
(Across the water and around the bend)
(D) Take me (E) take me (A) in
