San Francisco Bay Blues
Jesse Fuller

Eric Clapton
Unplugged
1992

This is a fast, simple song which is pretty fun.
It basically consists of traditional blues chords.
I have yet to find a blues song without an E7 in
it.  Later!

INTRO:

C	F	C	C7

          C                         F                    C      C7
I got the blues from my baby livin' by the San Francisco Bay
    F                        C      C7
The ocean liners not so far away
  F                                            C                     A7
I didn't mean to treat her so bad; she was the best girl I ever have had
  D7/F#
I said goodbye; I can take a cry
G7
   I wanna lay down and die

  C                        F                   C
I ain't got a nickle and I ain't got a lousy dime
    F                                      E7
She don't come back; ain't gonna lose my mind
       F                                C                    A7
If ya' ever get back to stay it's gonna be another brand new day
D7/F#                     G7                    C
Walkin' with my baby down by the San Francisco Bay

C            F                C                        F      C

F                                                C
