Georgia On My Mind — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
34 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Georgia On My Mind" by Ray Charles: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of Bb, 68 BPM.
This arrangement will stretch your chord vocabulary like few other pieces at this level — twenty-three distinct chords means your left hand is constantly reshaping, so start hands-separate and really drill those changes before adding the melody.
Pay special attention to the diminished transitions: the Edim7 and F#dim chords act as chromatic passing shapes, and fumbling them will break the song's smooth, melancholic flow.
At 68 BPM you might think speed isn't an issue, but a slow ballad exposes every hesitation, so use the slow-tempo mode to lock in tricky spots like the movement from Gm through Gm6 into Edim7 — loop that passage until it feels automatic.
Keep your sustain pedal changes clean; with extended chords like Eb9 and G9, muddy pedaling turns rich harmony into mush.
Lift and re-press on each chord change.
This is the piece that'll build your confidence with jazz-influenced voicings and make complex progressions feel natural under your hands.
