She just got here, yes-ter-day,
-3      3* -3   -2   3    2   -3
Things are hot here now they say.
-3      3  -3   -2   2   -1
There’s a big change in town.
-3    3*  -3  -2     3      2   -3
Gals are jeal-ous, there’s no doubt.
-3     3*  -3  -2   3   2  -3
Still the fel-lows rave a-bout.

-1  2   -2*  -1  -3-2* -4
No gal made has got a shade 
-3  -5    -3  -2*  -1

1    -1   2    1   3  2  -3
They all sigh and wan-na die 
-3    4     3   2   1
for sweet geor-gia brown
1     -1   1   -1  -3
I’ll tell you just why, 
1    -1  1  -1   -3    -3   3 
you know I don’t lie...not much

-1    2    -2* -1    -3  -2*  -4
It’s been said she knocks em dead 
-3   -5    -3  -2* -1
when she lands in town
-1     2   -2  -1   -3 -2  -4 
Since she came why it’s a shame 
-3   -5   -4  -3  3
how she cools em down
-3   -3   3   2    -3
Fel-lers she can’t get

are fel-lers she ain’t met
1     -1    -2    -3   4    4*  -5    -3
