Subject: RE: Chord Req: Sweet Georgia Brown
This is the Brother Bones version. It's in F, but it ends in Ab. As usual, you can add and remove 7th, 9ths, etc, as you jazz freaks like. :-)

Each letter and '-' represents one beat; each bar ('|') represents one measure. Capital letters are Major, lower-case are minor.

Verse:
F - - - | F - - - | Bb7 - - - | Bb7 - - - |
Eb7 - - - | Eb7 - - - | Ab6 - - - | Ab6 - G6 F6 |
F - - - | F - - - | Bb7 - - - | Bb7 - - - |
f - C7 - | f - C7 - | Ab7 G7 F#7 F7 | Bb7 Eb7 Ab7 - |

There's a weird bridge which sounds amazing, not sure if I have it right.

Bridge:
f - - - | f C7 f - | f Gdim Ab f/C | Bb7 - Eb7 - | Eb f7 Eb - | Eb - Eb/G |

In the last phrase, the bass moves up on f-f# on the second beat, into the g. Those may be diminished chords, not sure.
