Sweet Georgia Brown (1925)
Words by A. Ken Casey, Music by Maceo Pinkard

[D7]No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown.

[G7]Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown.
[C7]They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown,
I'll tell you just [F]why,
you know I don't [A7]lie (not 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.
[Dm]Fellas [A7]she can't get
Must be [Dm]fellas [A7]she ain't met.
[F]Georgia claimed her,
[D7]Georgia named her,
[G7]Sweet [C7]Georgia [F]Brown.

[D7]No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown.

[G7]Two left feet, but oh, so neat has Sweet Georgia Brown.
[C7]They all sigh and wanna die for Sweet Georgia Brown,
I'll tell you just [F]why,
you know I don't [A7]lie (not much!).
[D7]All those tips the porter slips to Sweet Georgia Brown
[G7]They buy clothes at fashion shows for one dollar down.
[Dm]Fellas, [A7]tip your hats.
[Dm]Oh boy, ain't [A7}she the cats?
[F]Who's that mister,
[D7]tain't her sister,
It's [G7]Sweet [C7]Georgia [F]Brown.

 7th Chord Inversions

G7 F7 D7 A7

Explanatory Notes: Oi !, Learn these..

But seriously folks, its not as complicated as it may seem. On the left hand side
Ive drawn an imaginary neck that has no beginning and no end wow, man - and
I have deliberately left the fret numbers out. This is to show how the chord
inversions (different versions of the same chord) all fit together regardless
of which chord you actually start with. In other words the diagram on the left
shows the same chord played at various positions on the neck.

To illustrate how this all works on a real uke, Ive shown some familiar 7th
chords and you can see how the inversions appear further up the neck.
 Minor Chord Inversions

G min A min C min D min

The Next Thrilling Installment!

Its the same idea as before: our imaginary neck that has no beginning and no
end is now showing the different minor chord inversions for any one chord.

To illustrate how this all works on a real uke, Ive shown some familiar minor
chords and you can see how the inversions appear further up the neck.
