NOBODY KNOWS BUT ME
JIMMIE RODGERS

VERSE 1:
C                      A7Nobody knows 'bout the jailhouse blues,
D7           G7          CTill you get within four walls,

C                                 A7And the old jailer man turns that big black key,
D7                       G7That's when your spirit falls.

         C             C7Then you drag yourself up to the bars
    F                  G7     Cand while you gaze out at the stars
G7      D7       Gthis is what you say...

CHORUS:
C                        A7Why did I stray from the righteous path,
D7     G7        CNobody knows but me,

C                        A7There on the outside you all can laugh,
D7                   G7I don't need your sympathy.

     C                      C7For after I've paid for the liquor I sold,
     F                         G7        CI'll leave this place worth my weight in gold.

A7                          D7So why did I stray from the righteous path,
G7               CNobody knows but me.

VERSE 2:
     C                       A7When you realize that you're all alone,

C                          A7that little cell is just a taste of hell,
D7                        G7If you ain't been there before.

        C                         C7You are locked up tight, but they treat you fair.
    F                       G7      CYou get ev'rything that you need in there
