Genius Loves Company

Ray Charles (Ray Charles Robinson,  Albany, Georgia, September 23, 1930 - Beverly Hills, California, June 10, 2004), was an American singer-songwriter, musician, arranger and band leader.   As a rock and roll, rhythm &amp; blues, soul, blues, jazz, country and pop musician he helped to shape the sound of rhythm &amp; blues.  He brought a soulful sound to everything from country music (&quot;I Can't Stop Loving You&quot;) to rock and roll (&quot;Mess Around&quot;), to pop standards to a now-iconic rendition of &quot;America The Beautiful.&quot; Frank Sinatra called him &quot;the only genius in the business.&quot;

I Can't Stop Loving You

Am
If you go away on this summer day,
                  Dm                E7
Then you might as well take the sun away;
                   G7                 E7
All the birds that flew in the summer sky,
         Am
When our love was new and our hearts were high;
         Dm                    E7
When the day was young and the night was long,
        Am
And the moon stood still for the night bird's song.
       Dm              E7              Am              E7 Am
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away, if you go away.


          Am       
If you go away, as i know you will, 
                  Dm                    E7
you must tell the world to stop turning Till
           G7                 E7
you return again, if you ever do, 
                 Am
for what good is love without loving you,
               Dm                  E7
Can i tell you now, as you turn to go, 
        Am
i'll be dying slowly till the next hello,
       Dm              E7              Am              E7 Am
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away, if you go away.


           Am                    F
But if you stay, i'll make you a night
                  E7               Am
Like no night has been, or will be again.
                  Am                       F
I'll sail on your smile, i'll ride on your touch,
                  G7               E7
I'll talk to your eyes that i love such.
           Am          Gm
But if you go, i won't cry,
                   F             E7   Am
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye,
       C               Dm              E7
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away, if you go away.


          Am
If you go away, as i know you must,
                    Dm                   E7
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust,
              G7                  E7
Just an empty room, full of empty space,
               Am
Like the empty look i can see on your face.
                  Dm                    E7
I'd have been the shadow of your dog If i 
                      Am
thought it might have kept me here by your side.
       Dm              E7              Am              E7 Am
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

When you don't care a bag of beans for me?

So, unchain my heart, please set me free.

Look out that window at that storm

Gosh your lips look delicious

My 	brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
 	F	Dm7
My 	maiden aunt's mind is 	vicious
Gosh your lips are delicious
 	G7	C7
Well, 	maybe just a cigarette 	more
Never such a blizzard before

 	F	F7
I've 	got to get 	home
But baby you'd freeze out there

 	Gm7	C7
Say, 	lend me a 	coat
It's up to your knees out there
 	F	F7
You've 	really been 	grand
I'm thrilled when you touch my hand
 	Cm7
Why don't you 	see
How can you do this thing to me?

 	Bb
There's 	bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my lifelong sorrow
 	Bb7	C7
At 	least there will be plenty im	plied
If you caught pneumonia and died
 	F	F7
I 	really can't 	stay
Get over that hold-out
 	G7	C7	F
Ah but it's 	cold 	out	side
Ah but it's cold outside

I can tell by the way you hold me, darling.

You give your hand to me and then you say “hello”

and I can hardly speak, my heart is beating so
         C           A7 
And any one can tell 
               G7
you think you know me well

              F                            F7

though my heart aches with love for you

Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by
  Dm                      G          G7    
a chance that you might love me too (love me too )

You give your hand to me and then you say “good bye”
              F                       F7
I watched you walk away beside the lucky guy

You Don't Know Me

&quot;Hit the Road Jack&quot; is a song written by Percy Mayfield and recorded by Ray Charles, with the Raelets (backing &amp; counterpoint vocals). It hit number one for two weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, beginning on Monday, October 9, 1961. This song is a tribute to Jack Kerouac's novel &quot;On the road&quot;

&quot;Georgia on My Mind&quot; is a song written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael (music) and Stuart Gorrell (lyrics). It is the official state song of the U.S. state of Georgia. Gorrell wrote the lyrics for Hoagy's sister, Georgia Carmichael. However, the lyrics of the song are ambiguous enough to refer either to the state or to a woman named &quot;Georgia&quot;. Carmichael's 1965 autobiography, Sometimes I Wonder, records the origin: a friend, saxophonist and bandleader Frankie Trumbauer, suggested: &quot;Why don't you write a song called 'Georgia?' Nobody lost much writing about the South.

Sampled by Kanye West in 2005, &quot;I Got a Woman&quot; was originally recorded fifty years earlier by Ray Charles, earning him his first #1 R&amp;B hit.

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
