[D] [G]
Lot of folks back east say leave home most every day
[A]Hitting the hard old dusty trail to the California [D]line
Well across the desert sands they rode
[G]Getting out out of the old dust bowl
[A]Think they're going to a sugar bowl here's what they [D]find
For the [A]police at the port of entry say
Your number 14,000 for the [A7]day
Well if you [D]ain't got the do re me boys
You ain't got the do re m[A]e
Well you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennes[D]see
California's a garden of eden
It's [D7]paradise to live and [G]see
But believe it or not you won't [D]find it so hot
If you ain't got the [A]do re [D]me [G][A][D]
[D]Now if you want to buy a home or farm
[G]That can't do nobody harm
[A]Take your vacation by the mountains or the s[D]ea
But you better not swap your cow for car
[G]Better stay right where you are
[A]Better take this little tip from [D]me
[A]Cause I look thru the want ads every day
And the headlines on the paper always say
Well if you [D]ain't got the do re me boys
You ain't got the do re [A]me
Well you better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tenne[D]ssee
[D]California's a garden of eden
It's paradise for [D7]you and for [G]me
But believe it or not you won't [D]find it so hot
If you ain't got the [A]do re [D]me [G][A][D]
