Verse:

C              E7
Melodies bring memories
     A7           D7   G7
That linger in my heart
C       E7       Am
Make me think of Geor-gia
    D7     G7    C   G7
Why did we ev-er part

C                   E7
Some sweet day when blossoms fall
    A7                D7  G7
And all the world's a song
C       E7      Am
I'll go back to Georgia
      D7           G7   C   G+
Cause that's where I be-long

Chorus:

C       Bm7-5   E7

The road leads back to you
