A                             D
Just across the muddy water from the Carolina side
        A              D                      A                D
They say home is a place you go where they have to take you in
     A                  D              E
I don't know if it's really so but I'm goin' back down again

[Chorus]
  D                A
Oh Augusta take me in
   D                A
Oh Augusta take me in

[Verse]
    A               D
Savannah river from the overpass
   A 
Shinin' bright in the mornin' light
    D
Like a fire in a whiskey glass
    A                D                     A                  D
I can hear the sirens clear cross the water and around the bend
    A                       D                   E
And I can see that's it's gonna be a little hard to make amends

[Chorus]
   D                A
Oh Augusta take me in
    D                A
Oh Augusta take me in
         D           E
Cause I just can't seem to win
   D                 A
Oh Augusta take me in

[Verse]
         A                   D            A             D
Now I'm standin on the shoulder, of Sandbar Ferry road
        A                   D                  A               D
Starin' down at the same old ground that I used to walk before
        A                      D            A                  D
The only change is I'm a stranger now but I remember when
       D                   D                     E
There was a time when I swore I'd die before I'd ever come back again

[Chorus]
   D                 A
Oh Augusta take me in
    D                 A
Oh Augusta take me in
     D                        E
Cause I'm goin back down again
    D                 A
Oh Augusta take me in

(No and I can't win)
  D                  A
Oh Augusta take me in

(Goin down, down again)
   D                A
Oh Augusta take me in

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