(Lyrics by Woody Guthrie) B E I lived in a place called Okfuskee E B And I had a little girl in a holler tree B E I said, little girl, it's plain to see, E B There ain't nobody that can sing like me F# G#m Ain?t nobody that can sing like me She said it's hard for me to see How one little boy got so ugly Yes, my luttle girly, that might be But there ain't nobody that can sing like me Ain't nobody that can sing like me E B Way over yonder in the minor key F# G#m7 Way over yonder in the minor key F# G#m There ain't nobody that can sing like me We walked down by the Buckeye Creek To see the frog eat the goggle eye bee To hear that west wind whistle to the east There ain't nobody that can sing like me Oh my little girly will you let me see Way over yonder where the wind blows free Nobody can see in our holler tree And there ain't nobody that can sing like me (Chorus) Her mama cut a switch from a cherry tree And laid it on the she and me It stung lots worse than a hive of bees But there ain't nobody that can sing like me Now I have walked a long long ways And I still look back to my tanglewood days I've led lots of girls since then to stray Saying, ain't nobody that can sing like me. (Chorus) Notes: Not say that these are the exact chord forms from the record, but using a half barre is easier to play, and kinda replicates the higher pitched mandolin sound. Not using a capo lets you slide down to the 2nd fret for the F#. Playing the full barre chords on the F# and G#m, seems to fit with the song, which has a lower feel in this section. At least to me. The other thing I like to do is use the half barre at the 4th fret (G#m7) as a transition between the B and E chords, 1 strum on the 4th fret barre, then fret the next chord.
