Quite a while ago, someone requested this song.  I never saw it posted
so I decided to have a go at workin' it out myself. (It worked great on
New Year's eve around a campfire with a couple of kazoos - and a few
cans).  Some kind soul posted Jesse Fuller's words to the lyrics
archive at cs.uwp.edu (thank you :-) so they may be a bit different
from Eric's.  Anyway I hope it's close enough and all suggestion
welcome.

SAN FRANCISCO BAY BLUES
(Jesse Fuller)


          C    
I got the blues for my baby
       F                      C     C7
Down beside the San Francisco Bay
F                                 C    C7 
Big ocean liner, took her so far away
       F
Well I didn't mean to treat her so bad
            C                A
She was the best girl I ever had
    D7    
She said goodbye, gonna make me cry
G7
  Gonna make me lay right down and die


       C                        F                 C     C7
Well I ain't got a nickel and I ain't got a lousy dime
   F                                             E     E7
If she don't come back I think I'm gonna lose my mind
       F                 
If she ever comes back to stay
          C                    A
Its gonna be another brand new day
D7                          G7                     C
Walking with my baby down beside the San Francisco Bay


[harp solo followed by the melodic harmonies of kazoos - sorry, no tab]

C
Sitting down looking from my back door
                         C7
Wonder which way to go
F
Woman I'm so crazy about
C                     C7
She don't love me no more
F                                     
Think I'm gonna take a freight train
C                   A
  Cause I'm feeling blue
D7
Ride all the way to the end of the line
G7
Thinking, sweet baby, of you


C
Back in another city
                          C7
Think I'm gonna go insane
F                   
Sounds like I heard my baby
    E                       E7
The way she used to call my name
       F        
If she ever comes back to stay
          C                    A
Its gonna be another brand new day
D7                          G7                     C    A
Walking with my baby down beside the San Francisco Bay
D7                          G7                     C    A
Walking with my baby down beside the San Francisco Bay
D7                          G7                     C        G7 C 
Walking with my baby down beside the San Francisco Baaaaaaay

[kazoo outro]

wahwahwahwahwahwahwhawahwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
