Do Re Mi Guy Clark
[G]Thousands of folks back East, they say, is [C]leavin' home every day,
[D7]Beatin' the hot old dusty way to the California [G]line.
'Cross the desert sands they roll, [C]gettin' out of that old dust bowl,
They [D7]think they're goin' to a sugar bowl, but here's what they [G]find --
Now, the [D7]police at the port of entry say,
"You're number fourteen thousand for today."
Chorus:
Oh, [G]if you ain't got the do re mi, folks, you ain't got the do re [D7]mi,
Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Tenne[G]ssee.
California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or [C]see;
But believe it or not, you won't [G]find it so hot
If you ain't got the [D7]do re [G]mi.
You want to buy you a home or a farm, that can't deal nobody harm,
Or take your vacation by the mountains or sea.
Don't swap your old cow for a car, you better stay right where you are,
Better take this little tip from me.
'Cause I look through the want ads every day
But the headlines on the papers always say:
If you ain't got the do re mi, boys, you ain't got the do re mi,
Why, you better go back to beautiful Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee.
California is a garden of Eden, a paradise to live in or see;
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
If you ain't got the do re mi.
