How to play “Georgia on My Mind”
The chords and lyrics are below, and the video illustrates some fairly easy fingering for the changes on this lovely Hoagy Carmichael song, made famous by the great Ray Charles. Georgia was written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael (music) and Stuart Gorrell (lyrics). Gorrell wrote the lyrics for Hoagy’s sister, Georgia Carmichael. The lyrics of the song are ambiguous enough to refer either to the state or to a woman named “Georgia”, a fact I only came to realize recently.
Please Enjoy! And if you’re interested in guitar lessons online, give me a shout.
