it should say that it's not in the original key

Thank you sir for this sharing of your talent and skills. Bless you

I also play it in F. You should be able to play it in whatever key you, or whomever, happens to be singing.....The song was actually composed by Hoagy Carmichael ("Stardust") ... but it's funny to hear how "square" the early recordings are before the song was re-invented by Ray Charles using black gospel chord substitutions (as demonstrated here). When musicians or audiences request "Georgia On My Mind" now, they invariably mean the Ray Charles version or something pretty darn close!

What is the first chord he plays? Before the F-major chord?
-
Heads up, in the bridge he plays a Bflat chord, but you describes it as a B........

Im glad i know chords and notes. i don't play keyboard/piano but, i know where the chords and notes are and what dim,aug,min7,?7th chords are and everything, thanks to math and a few lessons i took from some good teachers. Ive been wanting to learn this on guitar for along time.
