Woody Guthrie - Do Ri Me guitar chord

(Verse 1)

G C

Lot's of folks back east they'll say, they're leavin' home everyday

D G

hittin' that hot ol' dusty trail to them california lines

G C

Cross the desert sands they'll roll gettin' outta that ol' dust bowl

D G

Think they're goin' to a sugar bowl, but here's what they'll find

D D7

Cos' the police at the port of entry say, you're number fourteen thousand for today

(Refrain)

G D

oooh, if you ain't got that do ri me folks, if you ain't got that do ri me

D G

well you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee

G C D

California is a Garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see

D G

But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot, if you ain't got that do ri me

(Verse 2)

If you wanna buy a house or farm, that can't do nobody harm,

Take your vacation by the mountain or sea,

Don't swap your ol' cow for a car, you better sit right where you are

And better that this little tip from me.

Cos' I read through them want-ads everyday, but the headline on the paper always say,

(Repeat Refrain)
