Standard (EADGBE)

- listen to song to get strumming pattern. It can be written by tab

but the only way to get it to perfection is to listen to the song

and get it yourself.

- I broke the song up into verses to make it easier to understand and play.

The way I broke the song up into verses may not necessarily be the way it

was written by that artist but all the wording is the same.

Intro

Verse 1

I got the blues from my baby livin by the San Francisco Bay

 The ocean liners not so far away

  V

Didn't mean to treat her so bad she was the best girl I ever have had

Said goodbye, I can take a cry, wanna lay down and die

Verse 2

 I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime

 She don't come back, think I'm gonna lose my mind

Ever get back to stay it's gonna be another brand new day

Walkin with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay

 Sittin down looking from my back door....wonderin which way to go

Woman I'm so crazy bout....she don't love me no more

Think I'll catch me a freight train....cause I'm feelin blue

Ride all the way to the end of the line....thinkin only of you

Verse 4

 Meanwhile livin in the city....just about to go insane

Though I herd my baby's voice....the way she used to call my name
