{Capo III} 
 
Hey mister, that's me upon the jukebox
 D5 C5 B5 
I'm the one that's singing this sad song
 D5 C5 G5 
I'll cry everytime that you slip in one more dime
 D5 C5 B5 E5 E5 
And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time
 E5 A5 D5 E5 A5 
Southern California is as blue as the boy can be
 B5 E5 B5 E5 
Blue as the deep blue sea
 C5 G5 
Won't you listen to me now
 B5 E5 
I need your Golden Gated cities like a hole in the head
 B5 E5 B5 E5 
Like a hole in the head, I'm free!
 C5 G5 D5 ( C5 G5 A5 )} 
I do believe I'm headed home
 D5 F#5 B5 
Hey mister, can't you see that I'm as dry as a bone
 C5 G5 A5 D5 
I think I'll spend some time alone
 B5 F#5 G5 
Unless you found a way of squeezing water from a stone
 C5 G5 C5 A5 
Let the doctor and the lawyer do as much as they can
 B5 E5 B5 E5 
Let the springtime begin
 C5 G5 
Let the boy become a man
 B5 E5 
I have wasted too much time just to sing you this sad song
 B5 E5 B5 E5 
I've been this lonesome picker a little too long
 C5 G5 D5 , E5 A5 
Hey mister, that's me upon the jukebox
 D5 C5 B5 
I'm the one that's singing this sad song
 D5 C5 G5 
I'll cry everytime that you slip in one more dime
 D5 C5 B5 E5 E5 
And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time
 E5 A5 D5 , E5 A5

Good-bye.
