Michelle: Say hi to my son when you move to Atlanta.

Maybe the four of you can get out in Atlanta together.

Is that the same son that we met at McGuiness that night? The one that is in the band?

Oh that's my dream is to get to walk to work! I don't know which hospital I will be placed in yet but it will probably either be Piedmont or Emory. OPIE will have to commute to south of Atlanta.

TITLE: Wonderful World (Don't Know Much)
Lyrics and Chords


[Capo 2]

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love you
And I know that if you love me too
What a wonderful world this would be

/ A F#m / Bm E / : / A D / / E A /

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But I know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be

Now, I don't claim to be an "A" student
But I'm trying to be
For maybe by being an "A" student baby
I can win your love for me

/ E7 A / / B7 - / Bm7 E7 /

{Repeat first verse}

oh I forgot. it is anything south of the George Washington Bridge.

anyway.....welcome to living closer to ME (that should thrill opie to death)

maple - do you have a clue where Atlanta is? It's in Georgia. Atlanta is on approximately the same latitude as Birmingham. Are these northeastern towns?

gee maple, it sure seemed like you needed the help since after it was pointed out that ATL is in the SE you still said they were moving closer to you.

The laughs on US, guys!!!

Mapes is the correct one here.

From Maps on Us: Driving distances

NYC - Nashville 908.6 miles
NYC - Atlanta 867 miles

Sorry for laughing at you Mapes.
Feel free to laugh at me. :-)

SS, thats interesting. I would have never figured Atl was closer than Nash to NYC

Tastes like chicken!

Now I feel like a real jerk. We hurt Mapes feelings and she left.
Sorry, Mapleleaf.

Mapleleaf, down South, we joke and pick on our friends. We only poke fun at the people we like and we are comfortable with.

We LOVE ya Mapes! Can I have your beer?
