  			B7       E                        A          Edim    E     E7 
I got the blues when my baby left me down by the Frisco Bay; 
 
    A          F#m      Cdim       E   E7         
An ocean liner came and took her away. 
 
    A                       B7              E          G#m  C#m 
I didn't mean to treat her bad, she was the best gal I ever had; 
 
    F#7 
She said good-bye, made me cry, 
 
 B7           F#7          B7 
Made me wanna lay down my head and die. 
 B7      E                        A          Edim   E     E7 
Well I ain't got a nickel, and I ain't got a lousy dime?, 
 
     A                 F#m             Cdim    G#7 
She don't come back, I think I'm gonna lose my mind. 
 
    A                   B7              E           G#7      C#7 
She ever comes back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day, 
 
 A                   B7                   E    Cdim  B7 
Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco Bay.

         E          A  Edim  E                       A  Edim E 
Well, I'm sittin' here on  the  back porch, don't know which way  to  go; 
 
    A                F#m                    G#7 
The gal that I'm so crazy about, she don't love me anymore. 
 
 A              Cdim    F#m             E         G#m    C#m 
Think I'm gonna take a freight train, 'cause I'm feelin' blue, 
 
 F#7                C#m7/5-      F#7   B7          F#7      B7 
Gonna ride it to the end of the line,    thinkin' only of you. 
 B7      E                        A          Edim   E     E7 
Well I ain't got a nickel, and I ain't got a lousy dime?, 
 
     A                 F#m                     G#7 
She don't come back, I think I'm gonna lose my mind. 
 
    A                   B7              E           G#7      C#7 
She ever comes back to stay, it's gonna be another brand new day, 
 
   A                 B7                    E     Cm7/5-  C#7 
Walkin' with my baby by the San Francisco   Bay, 
 
  A                  B7                    E     Fdim(IV)  C#7
