Prompt / Lyrics
Key of G | 3/4 or 4/4 waltz feel | Capo 2 for A, Capo 7 for D
Tempo: ~72 BPM

Verse 1
(Fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft mandolin enters bar 3)

G                          C
Whenever I pick up my old guitar
     G                    D
I'm carried back to younger days
G                        C
A girl with beautiful brown eyes
     D                      G
And Dallas nights all wrapped in haze


Chorus
(Full band in — fiddle lead, electric guitar fills, bass walking, light snare)

     C                    G
She's an Oklahoma girl with a Georgia state of mind
   C                          D
Brown eyes and a smile that the years can't leave behind
     G                    C
We built our life together in the shadow of the Blue Ridge line
     D                              G
She's an Oklahoma girl with a Georgia state of mind

Verse 2
(Mandolin prominent, keyboard pads underneath)

G                          C
She loved the music, I loved her heart
     G                    D
From the start we knew we'd never part
G                           C
We moved from Dallas, found Atlanta's call
     D                        G
She fell in love — she loved it all


Bridge
(Drop to acoustic guitar and fiddle only — tender, intimate)

Em                    C
We raised our children, watched them grow
     G                   D
Not far from where the mountain rivers flow
Em                        C
And I look back on a life worth living
   D                         D7
With Sandi always by my side — still giving

Final Chorus (lifted — key shift optional +1 to Ab/A)
(Full band, fiddle soaring, everyone in)

She's an Oklahoma girl with a Georgia state of mind
Brown eyes and a smile that the years can't leave behind
We built our life together in the shadow of the Blue Ridge line
Still playing music, still in love — after all this time
She's an Oklahoma girl... with a Georgia state of mind
