- listen to song to get strumming pattern. It can be written by tab
but the only way to get it to perfection is to listen to the song
and get it yourself.
- I broke the song up into verses to make it easier to understand and play.
The way I broke the song up into verses may not necessarily be the way it
was written by that artist but all the wording is the same.

I got the blues from my baby livin by the San Francisco Bay
The ocean liners not so far away
Riff
V
Didn't mean to treat her so bad she was the best girl I ever have had
Said goodbye, I can take a cry, wanna lay down and die
I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
She don't come back, think I'm gonna lose my mind
Riff
V
Ever get back to stay it's gonna be another brand new day
Walkin with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Sittin down looking from my back door....wonderin which way to go
Woman I'm so crazy bout....she don't love me no more
Riff
V
Think I'll catch me a freight train....cause I'm feelin blue
Ride all the way to the end of the line....thinkin only of you
Meanwhile livin in the city....just about to go insane
Though I herd my baby's voice....the way she used to call my name
Riff
V
And if I ever get back to stay....its gonna be another brand new day
Riff
V
Walkin with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay Hey Hey
Riff
V
Walkin with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
Yeahh walkin with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay
