Chords for John Roberts at Ray Charles Tribute pt.2

_ _ _ My name is Usher Raymond III, _ _ and I live in Atlanta, Georgia.
_ I was born 20 years after that scene we just saw.
Because of Ray Charles, when we hear this next song, Georgia on My Mind, _ _ _ _
_ [G] we think _ of the beauty [Em] of Brother Ray, and not the painful [Cm] inequalities of the past.
Tonight I sing this for you, Ray, _ and for all of us.

[D] A [G] song, [C] a _ _ _

[Em] _ _ _ Still [Am] and peaceful, _ [Em] _ _ [G] dreams I [C#] _ [F#] see,
On [Bm] the road, [G#] ease back [A] to you. _
[D] _ _ I [G] said Georgia, _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [B] _ Georgia. _
[D#] _ _ _ [B] _ [Em] _ _ _

no [D] _ _ [G] peace, no [C] peace I _ _ [G] find.
_ [G] Just an old sweet [E] song, _ _ [Em] keeps [A] Georgia _ [C] right here on [Gm] my mind.
[F] _ [B] _ _ _ Oh, [E] _
I _ [G] _ _ [A] said an old sweet [C#] _ _ [C#] song, _ [D] _ [C] keeps Georgia _ _ on my [G] _ _
[C] mind.

_ [A] _ Ray, Ray, that's sacrilegious. _
What?
[B] It's a gospel song.
I know what it is, I wrote it.
I mean, you told me to find my own voice.
Well, B, this is it.
It ain't right to be changing gospel music, and it is.
Devil music, evil music, you think I'm evil, B?
_ [D#] _ Look, I've been performing gospel and blues all my life.
It's who I am.
And if I'm going to do my own thing, I got to be natural, right?
_ _ _ I'm singing about my feelings for you.
_ [D] About how I love you.
_ [Cm] _
_ _ [Dm] What could be more natural than that?
_ [N]
Ladies and gentlemen, Morgan Freeman. _ _ _ _
_ _ Thank you very much. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Thank you. _ _
Very kind.
_ How sweet it is. _
_ Tonight we are experiencing some of Ray Charles' remarkable life and times as seen in director Taylor Hagford's film with our host,
Brother Jamie Foxx, who did a remarkable job of portraying the extraordinary genius of soul.
Ray Charles understood the best music knows no boundaries, not even between the sacred and the profane, _ gospel and rhythm and blues.
_ Ray Charles knew the only real distinction in his music is between what's good and what's bad.
And _ the record shows that in his remarkable lifetime, Ray Charles could be good. _ _
And Ray Charles could be bad. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ The song we're about to hear was Ray's first number one hit in 1955.
Back then, it was considered an act of rebellion and even blasphemy.
_ It was brave, ballsy _ and brilliant. _
And like the musical giant who brought it to life.
Now to perform Ray's I've Got a Woman tonight, I am honored to introduce a living legend who took Ray's inspiration and created a song for revolution in his own right.
_ Ladies and gentlemen, _ one genius deserves another, don't you think? _
