          G                           
I got the blues when my baby left me  
C                    G   G7 
by the San Francisco Bay   
    C                        G    G7 
The ocean liners gone so far away   
         C                          
I didn't mean to treat her so bad,  
            G                E7   
she was the best girl I ever had  
A7                                   
She said goodbye, I can take a cry,  
D7                        
I wanna lay down and die  
   
  G                        C                 G    G7 
I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime   
    C                                           B7    
She don't come back, think I'm going to lose my mind  
C                                             
If she ever gets back to stay, it's going to  
G                    E7   
be another brand new day  
A7                         
Walking with my baby down  
D7                   G   D7 
by the San Francisco Bay   
   
G            C               G           
Sitting down looking from my back door,  
                C      G   
Wondering which way to go  
C                                              G     
Woman I'm so crazy about, she don't love me no more  
C                                    G                  E7    
Think I'll catch me a freight train,  cause I'm feeling blue  
A7                                       D7                    
Ride all the way to the end of the line, thinking only of you  
   
G         C             G                   C  G       
Meanwhile livin' in the city, just about to go insane  
C                              E7                                
Thought I heard my baby, lord, the way she used to call my name  
C                                              
If I ever get her back to stay, it's going to  
G                    E7   
be another brand new day  
A                         D7                   G     
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay,  
    E7   
hey hey  
   
A7                        D7                   G    
Walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay  
B7 E7  A7                        D7                   G    
  Yeah walking with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
