[Verse 1]
          C                         F                    C
I got the blues from my baby livin' by the San Francisco Bay
    F                        C7
Ocean liner, she gone so far away
  F                                            C           C/B       A7
I didn't mean to treat her so bad; she was the best girl I ever have had
D7/F#                                G7
I said goodbye; likely to make cry, I wanna lay down and die

[Verse 2]
  C                        F                      C
I ain't got a nickle and I ain't got a lousy dime
    F                                            E7
She don't come back, think I'm gonna lose my mind
  F                                          C         C/B     A7
If she ever get back to stay it's gonna be another brand new day
D7/F#                     G7                C
Walkin' with my baby down by San Francisco Bay

C                                       F                  C
Sittin' down lookin' from my back door wondrin' which way to go
  F                                             C7
Woman I'm so crazy 'bout she don't love me no more
    F                               C         C/B    A7
Think I'll catch me a freight train cause I'm feelin' blue
D7/F#                                                  G7
Ride all the way to the end of the line thinkin' only you

[Verse 3]
C                            F                   C
Meanwhile livin' in the city just about to go insane
               F                                    E7
All I heard my baby Lord the way she used to call my name
F                                 C                C/B       A7
If she ever get back to stay it's gonna be another brand new day
D7/F#                  G7                C
Walkin with my baby down by San Francisco Bay
D7/F#                  G7                C
Walkin with my baby down by San Francisco Bay
D7/F#                  G7                C
Yeah, walkin with my baby down by San Francisco Bay
