I recorded Georgia on my mind on my Roland E80 including the verse.Do any members play this song with the verse?I don`t know
of any recordings,instrumental or vocal that include it,although
there must be some.I think the lyrics to the verse make the song more interesting.

E80 still sounds great! I used to have one, lots of good features.
The only version I know is this:
Georgia On My Mind
W & M by Hoagy Carmichael & Stuart Gorrell
Recorded by Ray Charles, 1960 (#1)
Also by Willie Nelson, 1976

Intro: | C - Edim | Dm7 - G7 | C - Cdim | Dm7 - G7 - G+ |

[C] Georgia, [E7] Georgia, the
[Am] whole day [F] through [F#+]
Just [C] an old sweet [Edim] song
keeps [Em7] Georgia on my [G7] mind, [C]
[Dm7] Georgia on my [G7] mind.
____________
[C] Georgia, [E7] Georgia,
[Am7] a song of [F] you [Fdim]
Comes as [C] sweet and [Edim] clear as
[Dm7] moonlight [G7] through the [C] pines.
[F, Fm, C, E7]
___________
[Am7] Other [Dm7] arms reach [Am7] out to [F] me,
[Am7] other [Dm7] eyes smile [Am7] tender [D7] ly;
[Am7] Still in [F] peaceful [C] dreams I [Cdim] see
the [Dm7] road leads back to [G7] you. [G+]
___________
[C] Georgia, ]C7] Georgia,
[Am7] no peace I [F] find [Fdim]
Just an [C] old sweet [Edim] song keeps
[Dm7] Georgia [G7] on my [C] mind. [F, Fm, C, E7]

If there is another verse I'd like to know it!

Hi Don,I consider the arrangement that you posted as the chorus
as it can be played before and after the verse.The words to the verse which i suppose is the middle eight are as follows.
MELODIES BRING MEMORIES
THAT LINGER IN MY HEART
MAKE ME THINK OF GEORGIA
WHY DID WE EVER PART
SOME SWEET DAY,WHEN SHADOWS FALL
AND ALL THE WORLDS A SONG
i`LL BE BACK TO GEORGIA
`CAUSE THAT`S WHERE I BELONG.
Try singing these words to my recording.

Gunnar ... thank you ... as I recall, "back in the day" when they wrote verses for songs, they were usually sung in the beginning as an 'intro' to the song ...

Thanks everyone for the replies and for finding a recording of
an artiste singing the verse.You`re quite right of course the verse
usually does come before the chorus but I thought I`d just put it in the middle for a change.As long as it`s in the song,I don`t suppose it matters.I do have an old time music hall medley using
the same format,I`ll sort it out and post it later.

Here are a few more chords in the Ray Charles rendition you might enjoy and there are more. I just added some to the first Verse. You can also substitute the Edim with an A7b9

[C] Georgia, [E7] Georgia, the
[Am] [Gm7]whole day [F] through [F#+]
Just [C] an old sweet [Edim] song
keeps [Dm7] Georgia on my [G7] mind, [E7]
[A7] Georgia on my [Dm7] [G7b9]mind.
____________
[C] Georgia, [E7] Georgia,
[Am7] a song of [F] you [Fdim]
Comes as [C] sweet and [Edim] clear as
[Dm7] moonlight [G7] through the [C] pines.
[F, Fm, C, E7]
___________
[Am7] Other [Dm7] arms reach [Am7] out to [F] me,
[Am7] other [Dm7] eyes smile [Am7] tender [D7] ly;
[Am7] Still in [F] peaceful [C] dreams I [Cdim] see
the [Dm7] road leads back to [G7] you. [G+]
___________
[C] Georgia, ]C7] Georgia,
[Am7] no peace I [F] find [Fdim]
Just an [C] old sweet [Edim] song keeps
[Dm7] Georgia [G7] on my [C] mind. [F, Fm, C, E7]
