[Intro] G C C G [Verse 1]
G                              C
I lived in a place called Okfu skee 

C                                   G 
And I had a little girl in a holler tree 

G                                  C 
I said, little girl, it's plain to see 

C                               G  
Ain't nobody that can sing like me 

D                              Em 
Ain't nobody that can sing like me 
Hold the Em and he does this little hammer on after each verse and chorus:

[Verse 2]
G                            C
She said it's hard for me to see 

C                           G
How one little boy got so ugly 

G                              C
Yes my little girly that might be

C                                         G 
But there ain't nobody that can sing like me

D                               Em 
Ain't nobody that can sing like me 
[Chorus]
C                            G
Way over yonder in the minor key 

Am                           G 
Way over yonder in the minor key 

D                                     Em
There ain't nobody that can sing like me 
[Verse 3]
G                             C
We walked down by the Buckeye Creek 

C                                  G
To see the frog eat the goggle-eye bee

G                                    C 
To hear the west wind whistle to the east

C                                     G
There ain't nobody that can sing like me 

D                               Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me 

G                             C
Oh my little girly will you let me see

C                                    G 
Way over yonder where the wind blows free 

G                             C
Nobody can see in our holler tree 

C                                  G
And there ain't nobody that can sing like me

D                               Em 
Ain't nobody that can sing like me 
[Chorus]
C                            G                  
Way over yonder in the minor key

Am                          G 
Way over yonder in the minor key

D                               Em 
Ain't nobody that can sing like me 
[Interlude]
C     G    Am    G     D     Em
(Played like the chorus) 
[Verse 4]
G                                   C
Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree 

C                          G
And laid it on the she and me

G                                  C 
It stung lots worse than a hive of bees

C                                         G 
But there ain't nobody that can sing like me

D                               Em 
Ain't nobody that can sing like me 

G                             C
Now I have walked a long long ways

C                                      G 
And I still look back to my Tanglewood days

G                                    C 
I've led lots of girls since then to stray

C                                      G 
Saying ain't nobody that can sing like me

D                               Em 
Ain't nobody that can sing like me 
[Chorus]
C                            G
Way over yonder in the minor key 

Am                           G
Way over yonder in the minor key

D                              G 
Ain't nobody that can sing like me 

D                               Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
