Version 1 Version 2
            [Verse]
E                                      A
Lots of folks back East, they say, is leavin' home every day,
  B                                              E
Beatin' the hot old dusty way to the California line.
                                    A
'Cross the desert sands they roll, gettin' out of that old dust bowl,
       B                                                        E
They think they're goin' to a sugar bowl, but here's what they find 
 E        B
Now, the police at the port of entry say,
 B                                     B7
"You're number fourteen thousand for today."

[Chorus]
        E                       A              E                       B
Oh, if you ain't got the do re mi, folks,  if you ain't got the do re mi,
          B7                                                                  E
Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee.
E                                                         A
California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see;
        B
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
                           E
If you ain't got the do re mi.


[Verse]
 E                                      A
You want to buy you a home or a farm, that can't deal nobody harm,
     B                                     E
Or take your vacation by the mountains or sea.
       E                               A
Don't swap your old cow for a car, you better stay right where you are,
  B                              E             
Better take this little tip from me.
 E     B
'Cause I look through the want ads every day
B                                       B7
But the headlines on the papers always say:


Chorus]
        E                       A              E                       B
Oh, if you ain't got the do re mi, folks,  if you ain't got the do re mi,
          B7                                                                  E
Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee.
E                                                         A
California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see;
        B
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
                           E
If you ain't got the do re mi.
