[Verse 1]
C G C
Down by the county bridge the gondolas roll
F C
Hauling down to Biringham the dirty half-slag coal
F C
I should let them move me on for sunshine, rain or drought
C G C
just like the circle says, the Southern serves the south
[Chorus]
C G C
Hardships and troubles, don't you know I've had some
F C
I'm getting older every day I'm a fairweather bum
F C
Let me tell you good people here, it's just about time
C G C
To catch a slow train through Georgia and ease a worried mind
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
C G C
Forty miles an hour run--ning down the line
F C
Greasy rail, red clay trails through the lonesome pines
F C
Anywhere that the sunshine falls that's where I long to be
C G C
Sunshine southern special won't you roll me to the sea
[Chorus]
C G C
Hardships and troubles, don't you know I've had some
F C
I'm getting older every day I'm a fairweather bum
F C
Let me tell you good people here, it's just about time
C G C

[Verse 3]
C G C
I want to live now day by day someplace down the track
F C
Come on gal my old pal, don't you know we won't look back
F C
I take down this old guitar and play it every day
C G C
Let the Sunshine Southern Special roll me to the sea
[Chorus]
C G C
Hardships and troubles, don't you know I've had some
F C
I'm getting older every day I'm a fairweather bum
F C
Let me tell you good people here, it's just about time
C G C
To catch a slow train through Georgia and ease a worried mind
