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…
[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.
