       ---Verse---
G                               C
I lived in a place called Olfuskee
                                    G
And I had a little girl in a holler tree
                                  C
I said, little girl, it's plain to see
                               G
Ain't nobody that can sing like me
D                               Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


       ---Verse---
G                              C
She said, It’s hard for me to see
                               G
How’s one little boy got so ugly
                                 C
Yes, my little girlie that might be
                                          G
But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
       D                               Em
(echo) ain't nobody that can sing like me

C                            G
Way over yonder in the minor key
Em                     D    G
Way over yonder in the minor key
D                                     Em
There ain't nobody that can sing like me


       ---Verse---
G                                 C
We walked on down by the buckeye creek
                                    G
to see the frog eat the goggle eyed bee
                                     C
to hear that west wind whistle to the east
                                     G
there ain't nobody that can sing like me
       D                               Em
(echo) ain't nobody that can sing like me


       ---Verse---
G                                    C
Oh my little girlie will you let me see
                                       G
way over yonder where the wind blows free
                               C
Nobody can see in our holler tree
                                          G
and there ain't nobody that can sing like me
       D                               Em
(echo) ain't nobody that can sing like me


       ---Chorus(w/Echo)---
C                            G
Way over yonder in the minor key
Em                     D      G
Way over yonder in the minor key
       D                               Em
There ain't nobody that can sing like me

       ---Interlude---
G, C, G, C x2

       ---Verse---
G                                  C
Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
                         G
and laid it on the she and me
                                     C   
It stung lots worse than the hive of bees
                                          G
but there ain't nobody that can sing like me
       D                               Em
(echo) ain't nobody that can sing like me


       ---Verse---
G                              C
Now I have walked a long long ways
                                        G
but I still look back to my tanglewood days
                                       C   
I've led lots of girls since then to stray
                                        G
saying, ain't nobody that can sing like me
D                               Em
ain't nobody that can sing like me


       ---Chorus(w/Echo)---
C                            G
Way over yonder in the minor key
Em                     D    G
Way over yonder in the minor key
       D                               Em
There ain't nobody that can sing like me


       ---Chorus(w/Echo)---
C                            G
Way over yonder in the minor key
Em                     D    G
Way over yonder in the minor key
       D                               Em
There ain't nobody that can sing like me
       D                               Em
There ain't nobody that can sing like me
