 RY COODER - Do Re Mi Lyrics

[Woody Guthrie]
[G] - [C] - [G7] - [D] - [D7] - [Bm] - [Em]

[G] Lots of folks back east they say
k11l8238d9681pll22,
[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
