I got the blues from my baby livin' by the San Francisco Bay
    F                          C   C/G    C   C7
The ocean liner's gone so far away

Didn't mean to treat her so bad, she was the best girl I ever have had
D7                                 G7         [3x3001]
Said goodbye, I can take a cry, I want to lay down and die

  C                        F                  C    C/G  C  C7
I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
       F                                        E   E7
If she don't come back, think I'm gonna lose my mind
     F                                  C   (riff)           A7
If I ever get back to stay / it's gonna be another brand new day
D7                          G7                   C        G7
Walkin' with my baby down / by the San Francisco Bay

F                                                 C

F                                      E                       E7
Thought I heard my baby's voice... the way she used to call my name
           F                                    C       *             A7
