NOBODY KNOWS BUT ME JIMMIE RODGERS VERSE 1: 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 G7 C 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 G7 C I'll leave this place worth my weight in gold. A7 D7 So why did I stray from the righteous path, G7 C Nobody knows but me. C G7 C Nobody knows but me.

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.
