Georgia on my mind - Ray Charles
2/4 (swung)
G major

Feel free to use this song but give credit to me - an email saying where you have used it
would be good, thanks.


The recording of this song has many instruments, in particular the strings, adding extra 
notes that would be near impossible to play on the guitar. This is a transcription to 
make it possible to play on guitar but is by no means a simplified version.

Here are the trickier chords in the song (I’ve tried to include different arrangements 
for some of them - some are easier to play, some sound nice as a variation):
