Verse 1:
          C                         F                    C
I got the blues from my baby livin' by the San Francisco Bay
    F                        C7
The ocean liners not so far away
  F                                            C           C         A7
I didn't mean to treat her so bad; she was the best girl I ever have had
D7                                        G7
I said goodbye; She likes to make me cry, I wanna lay down and die

Verse 2:
  C                        F                 C
I ain't got a nickle and I ain't got a lousy dime
    F                                        E7
She don't come back, think I'm gonna lose my mind
  F                                          C         C       A7
If she ever get back to stay it's gonna be another brand new day
D7                     G7                C
Walkin' with my baby down by San Francisco Bay

C                                       F                  C
Sittin' down lookin' from the back door wondrin' which way to go
            F                     C7
Woman I'm so crazy 'bout she don't love me no more
    F                               C         C      A7
Think I'll catch me a freight train cause I'm feelin' blue
D7                                   G7
Ride all the way to the end of the line thinkin' only you

C                            F                C

               F                                    E7
All I heard my baby Lord the way she used to call my name
F                                 C                C         A7
If she ever get back to stay it's gonna be another brand new day

Walkin' with my baby down by San Francisco Bay
