Am E Am

It was down in Old Joe's bar-room,

F E E7

on the corner by the square,

Am E Am

the usual crowd was assembled

F E Am

and big Joe Mckenny was there.

Am E Am

He was standing at my shoulder,

F E E7

his eyes were bloodshot red,

Am E Am

he turned to the crowd around him

F E Am

these are the very words he said...wad he say Jack?

Am E Am

I went down to the St. James Infirmary

F E E7

I saw my baby there,

Am E Am

she was layed out on a cold white table,

F E Am

so cold, so white, so fair.

Am E Am

Let her go, let her go, god bless her

F E E7

wherever she may be,

Am E Am

she may search this wide world over,

F E Am

she'll never find a sweet man like me.

Am E Am

When I die, bury me,

F E E7

in a high top Stetson hat,

Am E Am

put a 20 dollar goldpiece on my watch chain,

F E Am

so god know I died standing pat.
