[intro]
G D/F# Em Em
I know a girl’ll mess with your mind (?)
G D/F# Em Em
She’ll come to you in the summer some time
G D/F# Em
She’ll talk about things you don’t understand
D C
You better stick to the matters at hand
D G D/F# Em Em
Before the whole damn thing unwinds
G D/F# Em Em
And she is beautiful, she is small
G D/F# Em Em
She don’t wanna play basketball
G D/F# Em
But there’s no telling what she might do
D C
Before her doin’ days are through
D G G
But right now she can’t even crawl
Em D C C
Georgia Rae, okay, Georgia Rae
Em D C D
Georgia Rae, baby what’d I say, Georgia Rae
G D/F# Em Em G D/F# Em Em
C’mon Georgia Rae
Your mother and I, we did this act
In some hotel ’bout nine months back
Now it is love that brings you here
A love that will not disappear
And Georgia honey, you can count on that
Em D C C
Georgia Rae, okay, Georgia Rae
Em D C D
Georgia Rae, baby what’d I say, Georgia Rae
E E E E
We were tired, should’ve been sleepin’
E E E E E E E
But like a fire, something went creepin’, creepin’, creeeeeepin’
D D D D D D D D
[instrumental]
Now your brother and sister don’t understand
How your tiny feet and your tiny hands
Could carry the weight of a thousand earths
Into our little universe
Georgia, we all think it’s grand
Em D C C
Georgia Rae, okay, Georgia Rae
Em D C C
Georgia Rae, baby what’d I say, Georgia Rae
Em D C C
Georgia Rae, okay, Georgia Rae
Em D C D
Georgia Rae, baby what’d I say, Georgia Rae
G D/F# Em Em G D/F# Em Em
C’mon Georgia Rae
G D/F# Em Em G D/F# Em Em
