Georgia on my mind  - Hoagy Carmichael
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 As played by Quebec Rock Group Offenbach
 on the record "Le Dernier Show"

 This is a very nice version of that beautiful song. It is
 accompanied by a solo guitar, in a bluesy/jazzy style. The
 tablature is as close as I could get from the record but I think
 it is pretty accurate. I never heard the version from Willie Nelson
 but try this one and you might find that it's worth the effort.

 Have fun.

 Tabbed by Andre Cloutier.

 Standard tuning.
 4/4 time.

Lyrics:

Georgia, m-m-m Georgia
the whole day through
just an old sweet song
that keeps you Georgia on my mind

Well I-I say Georgia, my sweet Georgia
a song, a song of you,
comes as sweet and clear
as the moonlight through the pines.

Other arms reach out to me
other eyes smile tenderly
But still in peaceful dreams I see
that the roa-whoa-oad, th'road leads me back to you

Georgia, my sweet Georgia,
no peace, no peace I find
just that old sweet song 
that keeps you Georgia on my mind
on my mind, I say Georgia,
my sweet Georgia, my-y-y-y sweet Geo-orgia,
Just an old sweet song
that keeps you Georgia
on my mi-i-ind, mmmmm
