[Intro] C F F C [Verse 1]
C                             F
I lived in a place called Okfuskee

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

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

F                               C
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

G                              Am
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
[Verse 2]
C                            F
She said it's hard for me to see

F                           C
How one little boy got so ugly

C                              F
Yes my little girly that might be

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

G                               Am
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

Way over yonder in the minor key

Way over yonder in the minor key

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

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

C                                    F
To hear the west wind whistle to the east

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

G                               Am
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

C                                  F
Oh my little girly will you let me see

F                                    C
Way over yonder where the wind blows free

C                             F
Nobody can see in our holler tree

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

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

Ain't nobody that can sing like me

[Verse 4]
C                                   F
Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree

F                          C
And laid it on the she and me

C                                  F
It stung lots worse than a hive of bees

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

G                               Am
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

C                             F
Now I have walked a long long ways

F                                      C
And I still look back to my Tanglewood days

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

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

G                               Am
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
[Chorus]
F                            C

Ain't nobody that can sing like me

G                               Am
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
