Tom: F#m
F#m C#m D
When I think of Georgia, I think of you
A E F#m
High as a kite in the second pew
F#m D
You were my best friend, the light of my youth
A E F#m7 F#m
And the only one back then that knew the whole truth
[Chorus 1]
E Bm
'Cause if I told my mom
D A
She would scream at the top of her lungs
E Bm
Saying I don't be - long
D A
I don't be - long
E
Sure hope she's wrong
[Verse 2]
F#m
I wanted to be honest
D
I wanted to be brave
A
But if my grandmother knew
F#m F#m7
She would roll in her grave
F#m
And my father would scream
D
He'd scream ou- out in rage
A F#m
He did not want a daughter whose soul wasn't saved
[Chorus 2]
E Bm
He thought if I told the world
D A
They would not see me as the same girl
E Bm A D
They'd say I don't be - loooonngg...
A
I don't be - long
E
Well, that's where he-e’s wrong
[Instrumental]
E Bm D A E Bm D A E F#m D A E F#m
[Verse 3]
C#m D
There is a place past the Georgia pines
A E F#m
And people who welcome you with an open mind
A D
And they say it'll take, it'll just take some time
A E F#m
'Til love, it belongs to all human - kind
E Bm
Oh, 'cause I told the world
D A
And they still saw me as the same girl
E Bm
They li - sten to my songs
D A
And they made me feel like I be - long
D A
Yeah, they make me feel like I be - long
D A D F#m
Oh Geor - gia - ahhh, you were wrong
