Colter Wall's cover of the Woody Guthrie song "Do Re Mi"

Note: In the recording Colter Wall plays with his guitar tuned down a full step and a capo on the 3rd fret.
This is the same as standard tuning with a capo on the 1st.
 
 
[Intro]
G
 
 
[Verse 1]
G
Lots of folks back east they say
C            A
Leavin' home every day
D
Beatin' the hot ol' dusty way
                  G
To the California Line
G
Crossin' the desert sands they roll
C                    A
Gotta get outta that old dust bowl
D
Think they're goin' to a sugar bowl
                        G
Buddy, here's what they find
        D             A             D
Now the police at the port of entry say
       D               A              D7
You're number fourteen thousand for today
 
 
[Chorus]
       G
If you ain't got the Do Re Mi boys
                        D
You ain't got the Do Re Mi
    D
You better go back to beautiful Texas
                                 G
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
    G
California is a garden of Eden
                             C
She's paradise to live in or see
      G           D
But believe it or not
          G          E7
You won't find it so hot
   C                  D     G
If you ain't got that Do Re Mi
 
 
[Guitar Solo]
 
 
[Verse 2]
G
You wanna buy a house and farm
C               A
That can't do nobody no harm
D                                          G
Take your vacation by the mountains or the sea
      G
Don't swap your old cow for a car
       C                        A
You're better off staying right where you are
D                                G
Better take this little tip from me
         D                A              D
'Cause I look through the want ads every day
        D                A             D7
And the headlines on the papers always say
 
 
[Chorus]
       G
If you ain't got the Do Re Mi boys
                        D
You ain't got the Do Re Mi
    D
You better go back to beautiful Texas
                                 G
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
    G
California is a garden of Eden
                             C
She's paradise to live in or see
      G           D
But believe it or not
          G          E7
You won't find it so hot
   C                  D     G
If you ain't got that Do Re Mi
