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,

[Refrain]

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.


[Refrain]

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 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…

And all of the planes and the trains take you away, in a year I can just be a name.
A    E                 Bm                     D
