Akkorde Do re mi

Intro: A - D - E - A (3x)

Verse 1:
A
Lots of folks back east, they say,
D
Are leaving home most every day,
E                                                                     A
Beating the hot old dusty way to the California line. A Cross the desert sands they roll,
D
Getting out of that old dust bowl.
        E
They think they 're going to a sugar bowl,
                              A
But here is what they find.
              E                                                                                                  E7
Now the police at the port of entry say, Hey you're number fourteen thousand for today.

Chorus:
               A
Oh if you ain't got that do re mi folks,
                                            E
Well if you ain't got the do re mi, why you better go back to beautiful Texas,
                                                      A
Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee. California is a Garden of Eden,
                                        D
It's a paradise to live in or see.
          A
But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot,
                           E       A
If you ain't got the do re mi.

Übergang: A - D - E - A (2x)

Verse 2:
A
If you want to buy you a house or farm,
D
That can't do nobody harm,
E                                                                          A
Or take your vacation by the mountains or the sea.
                                                    D
Don't swap your old cow for a car,
                                                                  E                                          A
You'd better stay right where you are, You'd better take this little tip from me.
            E                                                                                                             E7
Cause I look through the want ads every day, And the headlines in the papers always say . . .

Chorus
               A
Oh if you ain't got that do re mi boys,
                                            E
Well if you ain't got the do re mi, why you better go back to beautiful Texas,
                                                      A
Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee. California is a Garden of Eden,
                                        D
It's a paradise to live in or see.
          A
But believe it or not, you won't find this place so hot,
                            E     A
If you ain't got the do re mi.
          
But believe it or  not,  you won't  find it so  hot,
                            E     A
If you ain't got the do re  mi.
