G
Lots of folks back east they say

C            A
Leavin' home every day

D
Beatin' the hot ol' dusty way

                  G
To the California Line

G
Crossin' the desert sands they roll

C                    A
Gotta get outta that old dust bowl

D
Think they're goin' to a sugar bowl

                        G
Buddy, here's what they find

        D             A             D
Now the police at the port of entry say

       D               A              D7
You're number fourteen thousand for today
[Chorus]
       G
If you ain't got the Do Re Mi boys

                        D
You ain't got the Do Re Mi

    D
You better go back to beautiful Texas

                                 G
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee

    G
California is a garden of Eden

                             C
She's paradise to live in or see

      G           D
But believe it or not

          G          E7
You won't find it so hot

   C                  D     G
If you ain't got that Do Re Mi
[Guitar Solo] [Verse 2]
G
You wanna buy a house and farm

C               A
That can't do nobody no harm

D                                          G
Take your vacation by the mountains or the sea

      G
Don't swap your old cow for a car

       C                        A
You're better off staying right where you are

D                                G
Better take this little tip from me

         D                A              D
'Cause I look through the want ads every day

        D                A             D7
And the headlines on the papers always say
[Chorus]
       G
If you ain't got the Do Re Mi boys

                        D
You ain't got the Do Re Mi

    D
You better go back to beautiful Texas

                                 G
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee

    G
California is a garden of Eden

                             C
She's paradise to live in or see

      G           D
But believe it or not

          G          E7
You won't find it so hot

   C                  D     G
If you ain't got that Do Re Mi
