[D7]No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown.
[G7]Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown.

You [C7-9]know [C7]I [C7+5]don't [F]lie ([Dm]not [A7]much!).

[D7]It's been said she knocks 'em dead when she lands in town.
[G7]Since she came why it's a shame how she's cooled 'em down. [A7]
[Dm]Fellas [A7]she can't get.  Must be
[Dm]Fellas [A7]she ain't met.

Georgia [D7]named her,
[G7]Sweet [C7]Georgia [F]Brown. [A7]

[D7]All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown
[G7]They buy clothes at fashion shows for one dollar down. [A7]

[F]Georgia claimed her,
Georgia [D7]named her,
[G7]Sweet [C7]Georgia [F]Brown.   [C9]↓   [C7]↓   [F]↓
