Lyrics
I got the blues when my baby left me (Eb)by the San Francisco (Bb)Bay.
She's takin' an (Eb)ocean liner and she's gone so far (Bb)away.
I (Eb)didn't mean to treat her so (Ebm6)bad.
She's the (Bb)best gal I ever have (G7)had.
She (C7)said goodbye, gonna make me cry,
(F7)I'm gonna lay down and die.
I (Bb)haven't got a nickel, (Eb)ain't got a lousy (Bb)dime.
If she (Eb)don't come back, I think I'm gonna lose my (D7)mind.
If she (Eb)ever comes back to (Ebm6)stay,
there's gonna (Bb)be another brandnew day,
(C7)walkin' with my baby down (F7)by the San Francisco Bay.
(Bb)Sittin' down and lookin' through my back door,
wond'rin' which way to go.
(Eb)Woman I'm so crazy 'bout, she don't want me no (Bb)more.
(Eb)Think I'll take me a (Ebm)freight train,
(Bb)because I'm feelin' (G7)blue.
(C7)Ride all the way till the end of the line,
(F7)thinkin' only of you.
(Bb)Meanwhile, in another city, just about to go insane,
(Eb)seems like I heard my baby the (D7)way she used to call my name.
If she (Eb)ever comes back to (Ebm6)stay,
there's gonna (Bb)be another brandnew day,
(C7)walkin' with my baby down (F7)by the San Francisco Bay.
