(G) - (C) - (G7) - (D) - (D7) - (Bm) - (Em)
(G) Lots of folks back east they say
(C) Leaving home most every day
(D7) Beating the hot old dusty way
To the (G) California line
`Cross the desert sands they roll
(C) Getting out of that Old Dust Bowl
(D) Think they`re coming to a sugar bowl
But (G) here`s (D7) what they (G) find
(D) Police at the port of entry say

Hey, if you (G) ain`t got the Do Re Mi, boy
If you ain`t got the Do Re (D) Mi
Well, you (D7) better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennes- (G) see
California is the garden of Eden
It`s a paradise to (G7) live in or (C) see
But be(G)lieve it or (D) not
You won`t (Bm) find it so (C) hot
If you (Em) ain`t got the Do Re (G) Mi
