D                          G

Lot of folks back east say leave home most every day
A                                                   D
Hitting the hard  old dusty trail to the California line

Well across the desert sands they rode
G
Getting out out of the  old dust bowl
A                                                    D 
Think they're going to a sugar bowl here's what they find
        A
For the police at the port of entry say
                           A7
Your number 14,000 for the day
            D
Well if you ain't got the do re me boys
                         A
You ain't got the do re me

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

California's a garden of eden
     D7                    G
It's paradise  to live and see
                                D
But believe it or not you won't find it so hot
                     A     D     G   A  D
If you ain't got the do re me 
D
Now if you want to  buy a home or farm
G
That can't  do nobody harm
A                                           D
Take your vacation by the mountains or the sea

But you better not swap your cow for  car
G
Better stay  right where you are
A                                D
Better take this little tip from me
A                                             
Cause I look thru the want ads every day
                                    
And the headlines on the paper always say
            D
Well if you ain't got the do re me boys
                        A
You ain't got the do re me

Well you better go back to beautiful Texas
                                D
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee
D
California's a garden of eden
                  D7          G  
It's paradise for you and for me
                                D
But believe it or not you won't find it so hot
                     A     D   G  A   D
If you ain't got the do re me
