DO RE MI
Words & music: Woody Guthrie

G
Thousands of folks back East, they say
    C
Are leaving home most every day
        D
They're beating their hot and dusty way
       G
To the California line
 G
Across the desert sands they roll
C
Getting out of that old dust bowl
     D
They think they're going to a sugar bowl
    G
But this is what they find:
        D
Now the police at the port of entry say
"You're number fourteen thousand for the day!"

           G
CHORUS: If you ain't got that do re mi, boys
                                    D
        If you ain't got that do re mi
        Why, you'd better go back to beautiful Texas
                                        G
        Oklahoma, Georgia, Kansas, Tennessee
        California is a garden of Eden
                                      C
        It's a paradise to live in or see
            G             D    G         C          G
        But believe it or not, you won't find it so hot
                              C  D  G
        If you ain't got that do re mi

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

CHORUS
