[Intro]
| N.C. | A E | B E
[Verse 1]
E A E
Well, Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
A B
He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn
A E B
He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
E A B E
And they all looked very happy in the morning
[Verse 2]
E A E
Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
A B
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many powers
A E B
So sad to see the grieving of the people that I'm leaving
E A B E
And he took the road for God knows in the morning
[Pre-Chorus]
A E N.C.
We walked him to the station in the rain
E A B N.C.
We kissed him as we put him on the train
A E A
And we sang him a song of times long gone
E B
Though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
[Chorus]
E
Sad to say I must be on my way
A E B
So buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away (far away)
E
I'd like to think of me returning when I can
A E B E
To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
[Verse 3]
E A E
The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man
A B
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally MacLennane
A E B
I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn
E A B E
And ended up a barman in the morning
[Verse 4]
E A E
I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
A B
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
