Marching Through Georgia chords
GBring the good ol' Bugle boys, we'll Csing another Gsong
Sing it with a spirit that will A7start the world aD7long
GSing it like we Cused to sing it Gfifty Cthousand Gstrong,
Dwhile we were marching through GGeorgia 
Hurrah! Hurrah! We Cbring the JubiGlee.
Hurrah! Hurrah! The Dflag that makes you free
GSo we sang the Cchorus from GAtlanta to the B7sea,
Dwhile we were D7marching through GGeorgia. 
GHow the darkeys shouted when they Cheard the joyful Gsound
How the turkeys gobbled which our A7commissary D7found
GHow the sweet Cpotatoes even Gstarted Cfrom the Gground,
Dwhile we were marching through GGeorgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We Cbring the JubiGlee.
Hurrah! Hurrah! The Dflag that makes you free
GSo we sang the Cchorus from GAtlanta to the B7sea,
Dwhile we were D7marching through GGeorgia. 
GYes and there were Union men who Cwept with joyful Gtears
When they saw the honored flag they had A7not seen for D7years
GHardly could they Cbe restrained from Gbreaking Cforth in Gcheers,
Dwhile we were marching through GGeorgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We Cbring the JubiGlee.
Hurrah! Hurrah! The Dflag that makes you free
GSo we sang the Cchorus from GAtlanta to the B7sea,
Dwhile we were D7marching through GGeorgia. 
"GSherman's dashing Yankee boys will Cnever make the Gcoast!"
So the saucy rebels said and 'A7twas a handsome D7boast
GHad they not Cforgot, alas! to Greckon Cwith the Ghost,
Dwhile we were marching through GGeorgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We Cbring the JubiGlee.
Hurrah! Hurrah! The Dflag that makes you free
GSo we sang the Cchorus from GAtlanta to the B7sea,
Dwhile we were D7marching through GGeorgia. 
GSo we made a thoroughfare for Cfreedom and her Gtrain,
sixty miles of latitude, three A7hundred to the D7main
GTreason fled Cbefore us, for reGsistance Cwas in Gvain,
Dwhile we were marching through GGeorgia.
Hurrah! Hurrah! We Cbring the JubiGlee.
Hurrah! Hurrah! The Dflag that makes you free
GSo we sang the Cchorus from GAtlanta to the B7sea,
Dwhile we were D7marching through GGeorgia.
