NOBODY KNOWS BUT ME - JIMMIE RODGERS (Uke version)

C                      A7
Nobody knows 'bout the jailhouse blues,
D7           G7          C
Till you get within four walls,

C                                 A7
And the old jailer man turns that big black key,
D7                       G7
That's when your spirit falls.

         C             C7
Then you drag yourself up to the bars
    F                  A7     
and while you gaze out at the stars
G7      D7       G
this is what you say...

CHORUS:
C                        A7
Why did I stray from the righteous path,
D7     G7        C
Nobody knows but me,

C                        A7
There on the outside you all can laugh,
D7                   G7
I don't need your sympathy.

     C                      C7
For after I've paid for the liquor I sold,
     F                         D7       
I'll leave this place worth my weight in gold.

C                          A7
So why did I stray from the righteous path,

D7      G7        C    D7          G7  C
Nobody knows but me.  Nobody knows but me.


VERSE 2:
     C                       A7
When you realize that you're all alone,
D7           G7     C
Sitting in a two by four

C                          A7
that little cell is just a taste of hell,
D7                        G7
If you ain't been there before.

        C                         C7
You are locked up tight, but they treat you fair.
    F                       D7      
You get ev'rything that you need in there
G7          D7      G
that's just why you say...

CHORUS:
C                        A7
Why did I stray from the righteous path,
D7     G7        C
Nobody knows but me,

C                        A7
There on the outside you all can laugh,
D7                   G7
I don't need your sympathy.

     C                      C7
For after I've paid for the liquor I sold,
     F                         D7        
I'll leave this place worth my weight in gold.

C                           A7
So why did I stray from the righteous path,

D7     G7         C   D7    G7        C
Nobody knows but me. Nobody knows but me.
