GUEST,Mal in Australia Origins: San Francisco Bay Blues (J Fuller) (27) Lyr/Chords Add: SAN FRANCISCO BAY BLUES (J Fuller) 13 Aug 00


In G, this is what I play

G///C///G///G///
C///C///B7///B7///
C///C///G///E7///
A7///A7///D7///D7///

G///C///G///G///
C///C///B7///B7///
C///C#dim///G///E7///
A7///D7///G///G///

The C#dim is optional (i.e. if I remember!) - a C will fit here also.

Lyrics I sing:

I get the blues about my baby, walkin' by the San Francisco Bay
Ocean liner takin' her so far away
I didn't mean to treat her so bad
She was the best gal I ever have had
She made me sigh, she made me cry
She made me wanna lay down & die

I ain't got a nickel, I ain't got a lousy dime
And if she never come back, I think I'm gonna lose my mind
But if she ever come back to stay, it's gonna be a brand new day
When I'm walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay

I don't know if there are any other lyrics; I just sing it all the way through once, then there's an instrumental break (or not) and I sing it through again.

Enjoy

Mal
