Lots ... leaving... Beatin'... etc...
E
Lots of folks back east they say,
A
Is leaving home, every day,
B
Beatin’ the hot old dusty way
E
To the California line
E
Cross the desert sands they roll,
A
Gettin’ out of that ol’ dust bowl.
B E
They think they’re goin’ to a sugar bowl, but here’s what they find:
Chorus:
B
Now the police at the port of entry say, *
You’re number fourteen thousand for today.
E
Oh, if you ain’t got the do-re-mi, folks,
B
If you ain’t got the do-re-mi,
Well, you better go back to beautiful Texas,
E
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee.
A
California is a Garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see.
E
But believe it or not, you won’t find it so hot
B E
If you ain’t got the do-re-mi
If you want to buy a home or farm,
That can't deal nobody harm,
Or take your vacation
By the mountains or sea
Don’t swap your old cow for a car,
You better stay right where you are,
You better take this little tip from me.
Chorus:
* ‘Cause I look through the want ads every day,
But the headlines on the papers always say
If you ain't ...
That would beC-F-G in relation to the capo.
Other than that it seems alright.
bjs10191, when you're capoed on a different fret, the chords aren't going to be the same name. They have a similar shape, of course.
Great tab, wish there were more of Woody out there...
