Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key

G.....C


[Verse 1]

G                               C
I lived in a place called Olfuskee
C                                    G
And I had a little girl in a holler tree
G                                   C
I said, little girl, it's plain to see
C                                      G
There ain't nobody that can sing like me
D                                C
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

G                            C
She said its hard for me to see
C                           G
how one little boy got so ugly
G                               C
Yes, my little girly that might be
C                                         G
but there ain't nobody that can sing like me
D                               C
Ain't nobody that can sing like me

  C                             G
  Way over yonder in the minor key
  Am                            G
  Way over yonder in the minor key
  D                                     C
  There ain't nobody that can sing like me

[Verse 2]
(same sa verse 1)

G                               C
We walked on down by the buckeye creek
C                                    G
to see the frog eat the goggle eyed bee
G                               C
to hear that west wind whistle to the east
C                                    G
there ain't nobody that can sing like me
G                               C
Oh my little girly will you let me see
C                                    G
way over yonder where the wind blows free
G                               C
Nobody can see in our holler tree

and there ain't nobody that can sing like me


[Chorus]
(same as verse)

  C                             G
  Way over yonder in the minor key
  Am                            G
  Way over yonder in the minor key
  D                                     C

[Verse 2]
(same sa verse 1)

G                               C
Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
C                                    G
and laid it on the she and me
G                               C
It stung much worse than the hive of bees
C                                    G
but there ain't nobody that can sing like me
G                               C
Now I have walked a long long ways
C                                    G
but I still look back to my tanglewood days
G                               C
I've led lots of girls since then to stray
C                                    G
saying, ain't nobody that can sing like me


[Chorus]
(same as verse)

  C                             G

  Way over yonder in the minor key
  D                                     C
  There ain't nobody that can sing like me
