San Francisco Bay Blues

Jesse Fuller

[C]I got the Blues for my baby

down [F]by the San Francisco [C]bay[C7],

[F]The ocean-liner,

took her so far a[C]way[C7].

[F]Didn’t mean to treat her so bad,

She was the [C]best girl I

ever ever [A7]had.

[D7]She said goodbye,

it made me cry, [G7]gonna

lay down and die.

————————————-

[C]I ain’t got a nickel and [F]ain’t

got a lousy [C]dime[C7].

[F]don’t come back, think I’m going

to loose my [E7]mind.

[F]If she ever  comes back to stay,

[C]It´s going to be another

brand new [A7]day.

[D7]Walking with my baby down

[G]by the San Francisco [C]bay[G].

————————————-

[C]Sittin’ down [F]looking from my [C]back door,

wondering which [F]way to [C]go[C7].

[F]The woman I’m so crazy about,

she don’t love me no[C]more[C7],

[F]Think I’ll catch me a freight train,

[C]cause I’m feelin’ [A7]blue

[D7]And ride all the way to the end

of the line, [G7]thinking only of you.

————————————-

[C]Meanwhile [F]in an other [C]city,

just about [F]goin’ [C]insane[C7].

[F]Thought I heard my baby, Lord,

[E7]the way she used to call my name.

[F]If I ever get her back to stay,

it’s gonna [C]be another brand new [A7]day.
