VERSE 1

 5   -4   5   4    -4 -3   5
She just got here yes-ter-day

  5    -4   5    4    -4   -3   5
Things are hot here, now, they say

  5     -4 5    4    -3  -3b
There's a big change in town

 5    -4   5   4     -4    -3   5
Gals are jeal-ous, there's no doubt

  5    -4  5    4   -4  -3 5
Still the fel-lows rave a-bout

  -4     5     5   -4   6
Sweet, sweet Geor-gia Brown

 6   6 -5   -4  -3   3
And ev-er since she came

 3   -3   -3    4    4    -4    5
The col-oured folks all claim: Say!


CHORUS 1

-3b -3  4   -3b  5  4   -5  
No gal made has got a shade 

5    -6   5    4   -3b
on Sweet Geor-gia Brown

-3b  -3   4    -3b  5   4  -5   
Two left feet, but oh! so neat 

 -4   -6   -5   5   -4
has Sweet Geor-gia Brown

 3   -3b  -3   -3  -4 -3   5   
They all sigh and wan-na' die 

 -4   6    -4   -3  -3
for Sweet Geor-gia Brown

 3    -3b  3   -3b  5
I'll tell you just why

 3   -3b 3  -3b   5    5   -4
You know I don't lie, Not much!

-3b   -3    4  -3b   5     4   -5
It's been said she knocks 'em dead 

 5   -6    5    4  -3b
When she lands in town

 -3b   -3   4  -3b    5  4  -5   -4
Since she came why, it's a shame how 

-6    -5    5  -4
She cools 'em down

 5    5  -4   -3    5
Fel-lers she can't get

5    5    5   -4  -3    5
Are fel-lers she ain't met

 3   -3b    4     5
Geor-gia claimed her

 6    6   -6    5
Geor-gia named her

 -4     6   5    4
Sweet Geor-gia Brown


VERSE 2

Brown-skin Pals you’ll surely lose
And there’s but one excuse
Now I’ve told you who she was
And I’ve told you what she does
Hand this gal her dues
This coloured maiden’s pray’r
Is answer’d anywhere, Say


CHORUS 2

No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Geor-gia Brown
Two left feet, but oh! so neat has Sweet Geor-gia Brown
They all sigh and wan-na' die for Sweet Geor-gia Brown
I'll tell you just why
You know I don't lie, Not much!
All those tips the porter ships
To Sweet Georgia Brown
The buy clothes at fashion shoes with
One dollar down
Oh Boy, tip your hats
Oh joy, she’s the cats
Who’s that mister
Tain’ her sister
Sweet Georgia Brown

ENJOY!!
