Georgie On A Spree chords by Richard Thompson

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA		  D MajorD      B7B7		  E MajorE
Me mammy told me, Isabel, now don’t stay out too late
A augmentedA		      D MajorD        B7B7		      E MajorE
One day they’ll throw you out of school so get yourself a steady date
  C#C#        F# minorF#m     B7B7        E MajorE
But Georgie meets me every night, we go out and we have a bite
C#C#        F# minorF#m       B7B7         E MajorE
Eyes of blue, and money too, he’s rattling the garden gate,
  D MajorD      E MajorE
And I can hardly wait—

Chorus:
   A augmentedA              D MajorD          A augmentedA
When Georgie’s on a spree all the girls are jealous of me
   E MajorE             F# minorF#m     B7B7        E MajorE
Cause I’m the one he spends his money on, we spend it, one two three,
A augmentedA              D MajorD      C#C#
Driving in his Chevrolet I’m perfect company
D MajorD         A augmentedA         E MajorE       A augmentedA
He’s the king and I’m his queen when Georgie’s on a spree.

We don’t see bad company, we mix it with the best
Rubbing shoulders with the rich and no time for the rest
When I see something that I need my Georgie buys the street for me
And when we’re tired of the Ritz he’s got a little nest
Where I put him to the test.

Chorus

One day Georgie hung his head and sadly he did say—
Little girl, I’m leaving you, I have to go away;
But I’ll be back in a week or two and I’ll be thinking just of you
Sit beside your telephone until that lucky day
When I come home to stay—

Chorus +
He’s the king and I’m his queen
When Georgie’s on a spree
