by Hoagy Carmichael – Key of A

This was written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell in 1930. Carmichael was an actor, performer, and popular songwriter – some of his other compositions include “Stardust” and “Winter Moon.” Gorrell was a banker living in New York City, and he wrote the lyrics. Ray Charles took the song to Number One.
It’s possible that this was written about a woman, not the state. Carmichael and Gorrell didn’t live in Georgia, but Carmichael did have a sister named Georgia.
Georgia, Georgia – – The whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind

This song became the state sone of the State of Georgia.

[Intro]
 
D              F#7           B7                 E9     A7
Melodies bring memories that linger in      my  heart
D             F#+ F#7 Bm       E7     A#dim  A13    D      A7b13
Make me think of Georgia. Why did we ev-----er     part?
D                   F#7               B7                  E9    A7
Some sweet day when blossoms fall and all the world's a   song
D            F#+ F#7 Bm         E7           A#dim   A13  D
I'll go back to Georgia 'cause that's where I       be---long

D Georgia, F# Georgia, Bm
The whole day E through,
Just an D old sweet B7 song,
Keeps G6 Georgia A on my F# mind A7

I said Georgia, Georgia,Β  A song of you
Comes as D sweet and B7 clear,

As G6 moonlight A through the D pines

Bm Other arms reach G out to me,
Bm Other eyes smile E tenderly
Bm Still in peaceful D dreams I E see,

The D road leads B7 back to G6 you A

I said Georgia, Oh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song, Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me,
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see,
The road leads back to you

Whoa-whoa, Georgia, Georgia,
No peace, no peace I find
Just an old, sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind
