verse 1 
A                  E                       Bm       D 
William had always painted pictures of Georgia, 
                A                E 
And now she was gone, no sun has sworn. 
             Bm                    D 
Seemed to deserve any colors that sat on his palette. 
A            E                             Bm      D 
He built old castles with the words of Georgia. 
                     A                 E 
Now it’s breakfast alone, so quiet at home, 
                    Bm                         D                         D 
Was read through an oath that she’d read in four years ago. 
D 
It said,

A    E                 Bm                     D 
Nana na na na na, it’s gonna be lonely when you’re gone, 
A    E                 Bm                     D 
Nana na na na na, it’s gonna be lonely when you’re gone, 
                A                          E             Bm                   D 
And all of the planes and the trains take you away, in a year I can just be a name. 
A    E                 Bm                     D 
Nana na na na na, it’s gonna be lonely when you’re gone. 

verse 2 

A       E                             Bm       D 
He kept replaying the night he lost Georgia, 
                          A                         E                       
When they cried at the gate, he said he wish she could stay, 
                   Bm                    D 
She said we just standing in each others way. 
A                 E                       Bm       D 
He knew somewhere out there smiling was Georgia. 
                        A                              E    
But the friends and she won, they’ve laughed and they cried. 
                   Bm                    D          D 
And what if I can make angry lions adore her.

A    E                 Bm                     D 
Nana na na na na, it’s gonna be lonely when you’re gone, 
                A                          E             Bm                   D 
And all of the planes and the trains take you away, in a year I can just be a name. 
A    E                 Bm                     D

verse 3 
A         E                     Bm       D 
Time went by and Will forgot Georgia, 
                     A                       E                 
He had a long happy life,  two girls and a Wife, 
               Bm                D 
He painted them Castles into the night. 
A                 E                 Bm       D 
The other day he saw a picture of Georgia, 
                   A                       E    
Her hair had gone grey, but her smile had stay. 
                  Bm                  D       D 
The curtains were open and it worked okay. 

D 
He remember the night when they said…
