(Woody Guthrie)
|
(G) - (C) - (G7) - (D) - (D7) - (Bm) - (Em)
|
|
(G) Lots of folks back east they say
|
(C) Leaving home most every day
|
(D7) Beating the hot old dusty way
|
To the (G) California line
|
'Cross the desert sands they roll
|
(C) Getting out of that Old Dust Bowl
|
(D) Think they're coming to a sugar bowl
|
But (G) here's (D7) what they (G) find
|
(D) Police at the port of entry say
|
You're number fourteen thousand for to (D7) day
|
|
Hey, if you (G) ain't got the Do Re Mi, boy
|
If you ain't got the Do Re (D) Mi
|
Well, you (D7) better go back to beautiful Texas
|
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennes- (G) see
|
California is the garden of Eden
|
It's a paradise to (G7) live in or (C) see
|
But be(G)lieve it or (D) not
|
You won't (Bm) find it so (C) hot
|
If you (Em) ain't got the Do Re (G) Mi
|
|
You want to buy a home or a farm
|
That can't do nobody harm
|
Take your vacation by the mountains or sea
|
Don't swap your old cow for a car
|
You better stay right where you are
|
Better take this little tip from me
|
Well, I look through the want ads every day
|
The headlines in the papers always say
|
