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
