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


    G                        C
You know it's hard for me to see
                            G
How one little boy got so ugly
                                 C
Yes, my little girly, that might be
                                          G
But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
D                     C         Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


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


   G                          C
We walked down by the Buckeye Creek
                                   G
To see the frog eat the goggle-eye bee
                                      C
To hear that west wind whistle to the east
                                           G
Hey, there ain't nobody that can sing like me
D                     C         Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


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


INSTRUMENTAL: C  G  D  Em  D  Em  C  G   D  Em  D  Em


G                                   C
Oh, my little girly will you let me see
                                     G
Way over yonder where the wind blows free
                             C
Nobody can see in our holler tree
                                          G 
And there ain't nobody that can sing like me
D                     C         Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


    G                               C
Now mama cut a switch from a cherry tree
                          G
And laid it on to she and me
                                       C
And it stung lots worse than a hive of bees
                                          G 
But there ain't nobody that can sing like me
D                     C         Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


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


    G                          C
Now I have walked a long, long ways
                                       G
And I still look back to my tanglewood days
                                C
I led lotsa girls since then to stray
                                        G 
Saying, ain't nobody that can sing like me
D                     C         Em
Ain't nobody that can sing like me


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


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