[Verse 1]
C
Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
                       G       C
It gets hotter than a hoochie coochie
C
We laid rubber on the Georgia asphalt
C                             G         C
We got a little crazy but we never got caught
F
Down by the river on a Friday night
C                         G         C
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
F
Talking 'bout cars and dreaming 'bout women
D7                                     G
Never had a plan just a livin' for the minute
[Chorus A]
C
Yeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee
                                      G       C
Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me
C
But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was
                         G            C
A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love
[Turnaround]
C  G  C    C  G  C
[Verse 2]
C
Well we fogged up the windows in my old Chevy
                      G        C
I was willing but she wasn't ready
C
So I settled for a burger and a grape snow cone
                             G         C
Dropped her off early but I didn't go home
F
Down by the river on a Friday night
C                         G         C
A pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight
F
