The song also sounds great when only power chords are used throughout the pre-chorus and chorus.
But for the verses, power chords are the best.

Verse I:

       E5
When I passed that city limit sign
  E5                            B5    B5
I knew that I was finally on my own
     E5
So I put my foot down on the gas
   E5                                    B5    B5
To see how fast those wheels could get me going

Pre-Chorus:

G
Everything about that place made me who I am
A
But they say once you leave you can't go back again

Chorus:

Bm                           G
So I took it with me: that cloud of red dust rolling up
     D                               A
That Georgia blue sky, setting sun, straight up highway forty-one
Bm                        G
I took it with me: that wild street, that fighting sight
     D
That born to run on a Friday night
     A                         A
That standing tall small town pride
          Bm       G      D      A
I took it with me

Play Lead #1

Verse II:

     E5
They say this world can change you fast
E5                                 B5    B5
And kick you right on back where you belong
  E5
So I roll my sleeves up every day
E5                                        B5    B5
'Cause that's just what you do where I come from

Pre-Chorus:

G
Everything I ever knew I bottled up inside
         A
When I need a shot of back home, it ain't hard to find

Chorus:

Bm                           G
'Cause I took it with me, that cloud of red dust rolling up
     D                               A
That Georgia blue sky, setting sun, straight up highway forty-one
Bm                        G
I took it with me, that wild street, that fighting sight
     D
That born to run on a Friday night
     A                         A
That standing tall small town pride
          Bm       G      D      A
I took it with me

Bridge:

    G
I'd be a thousand miles away

But it's still crystal clear
  A
I see that picture in my mind

I keep it right here

Chorus:

Bm                           G
'Cause took it with me, that cloud of red dust rolling up
     D                               A
That Georgia blue sky, setting sun, straight up highway forty-one
Bm                        G
I took it with me, that wild street, that fighting sight
     D
That born to run on a Friday night
     A                         A
That standing tall small town pride
          Bm       G      D      A
I took it with me
