The chords are kind of awkward for standard tuning on guitar.
I suggest playing a different key or using a capo so you can easily play different
shapes and keep the key of C.
Scroll to the bottom for the progression in G and A.
 
Intro/Verses:
C G7 F F7
C G7 C
 
           C         G7             F                       F7
You may search the ocean, you might go across the deep blue sea,
           C                  G7                 C
But mama you'll never find another hot shot like me.
 
   C           G7             F              F7
I followed my baby, from the station to the train,
        C                     G7                     C
and the blues came down like dark night and showered me.
 
   C                G7        F                    F7
I left her at the station, wringing her hands and cryin'.
             C                    G7             C
I told her she had a home just as long as I had mine.
 
      C      G7          F                 F7
I've got two women, and you can't tell 'em apart.
       C                    G7             C
I got one in my bosom, the other one in my heart.
 
      C        G7     F             F7
The one in my bosom, she's in Tennessee,
         C                    G7                    C
And the one in my heart don't even give a darn for me.
 
    C                     G7               F                    F7
I used to say a married woman, were the sweetest woman ever was born,
           C                    G7                          C
But I've changed that thing, you better let married women alone.
 
C        G7      F                    F7
Take my advice, let these married women be,
             C                                   G7               C
'Cause their husbands will grab ya and beat ya ragged as a cedar tree.
 
        C                 G7            F               F7
When a woman say, she love you 'bout good as she do herself
        C                                G7                   C
I don't pay her no attention, tell that same line to somebody else
 
     C           G7         F                                F7
I really don't believe no woman in the whole round world do right
           C                       G7                   C
Act like an angel in the daytime, mess by the ditch at night
 
       C           G7    F                       F7
I'm going, pretty mama, please don't break this rule
        C                       G7              C
That's why I'm searching these deserts for the blues
 
      C           G7     F                       F7
I'm going, pretty mama, searching these deserts now
       C                  G7         C
That's why I'm walking my baby home anyhow
 
 C        G7    F           F7
Lord, oh Lord, Lordy, Lordy, Lord
    C         G7           C
Oh Lordy Lord Lord, Lord, Lord
 
       C               G7        F                  F7
When a woman say, she love you 'bout good as she do herself
        C                                 G7                  C
I don't pay her no attention, tell that same line to somebody else
 
 C        G7    F           F7
 
      C         G7           C
Oh Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
