Guys,
I think the real answer is that Sweet Georgia Brown IS in F, although the
tune begins on the VI7 chord, D7. Pretty cool tune as you never even hear
the F chord until the middle and end of the 32 bar progression (bar 13 &
29.)
Positions mean something, but really not that much in the grand scheme of
things... IMHO.
And I agree that country tuning is kind of a give take on this as you really
only need the F# on a C harp for bars 1-4 and 17-20, otherwise the tune is
basically in F with some G7's here and there.
Learn to overblow and/or play it on a chromatic, there are always
compromises on our instrument...
