Nobody Knows But Me by Lefty Frizzell - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Lefty Frizzell Song List

Version 1

            [Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
C                      A7              D7               G7      C
Nobody knows about the jailhouse blues till you get within four walls
G       C                          A7             D7                      G7
    The old jailer man turns those big black keys that's when your spirit falls
         C             C7
Then you drag yourself up to the bars
    F                     Fm
And while you gaze out at the stars
D7                  G7
This is what you'll say

[Chorus]
C                        A7             D7     G7        C
Why did I stray from the righteous path nobody knows but me
G  C                         A7         D7                      G7
   There on the outside you often laugh I don't need your sympathy
    C                    C7
For after I paid for the liquor I stole
     F                        G         C
I'll leave this place with my weight in gold
   C                        A7             D7     G7        C
So why did I stray from the righteous path nobody knows but me

[Bridge]
G  C A7  D7  G7  C

[Verse 2]
         C                    A7       D7          G7     C
When you realize that you're all alone seated in a two by four
G   C                          A7                   D7                 G7
    That little cell is just a taste of hell if you ain't been there before
       C                        C7
You're locked up tight but they treat you fair
    F                       Fm
You get everything that you need in there
D7                     G7
That's just why you'll say

[Chorus]
C                        A7             D7     G7        C
Why did I stray from the righteous path nobody knows but me
G  C                         A7         D7                      G7
   There on the outside you often laugh I don't need your sympathy
    C                    C7
For after I paid for the liquor I stole
     F                        G         C
I'll leave this place with my weight in gold
   C                        A7             D7     G7        C
So why did I stray from the righteous path nobody knows but me

[Outro]
 A7    D7     G7        C
       Nobody knows but me
