[A] It was [E] down at old [A] Joe's Bar on [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ a [F] corner of [E] the square. _ _
_ [Am] They were [E] serving drinks [Am] as usual _ _ [D] _ _ [A] and the usual [E] _ _ [Am] crowd was there. _
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ On [E] my left stood [Am] big Joe McKennedy, [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ [F] eyes [E] bloodshot red.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] Turned to the crowd [Am] around him, _ _ [D] _
these [A] are the [E] very _ [Am] words he said.

[Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] I went down to [E] that St.
[A] James infirmary, _
[E] _ _ _ [A] I saw [F] my baby [E] _ there, _ _ _ [Am] _
stretched [E] out on a [Am] long white [D]
table, _ [Am] so sweet, so cold, so fair.
_ [E] _ Let [A] her go, [E] let her [A] go, God bless her, [E] _
_ _ [A] wherever [F] she may [E]
be.
_ _ _ _ [Am] She may [E] search this wide [Am] world over, [D] _
or [A] never find a sweet man like me.
_ [E] _ _ [Am] When I [E] die, [Am] please bury me [E] _ _ [Am] in my [F] high-tap.
[E] Yes, it had, _
_ _ [Am] but a [E] $20 gold [Am]
piece [D] on my watch, J.
[A] God, no, [E] I [Am] died standing.
_ [E] _ _
[Am] I want [E] six grab shooters [A] for barbellers, [E] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] call his girl to [E] sing me a song.
_ _ [Am] Put a [E] jazz band [Am] on my horse [D] wagon, _ _ [F] this [E] hell has I [Am] strolled along.
[E] _ _ _ [Am] Roll [E] out your rubber [Am]-dyed garage, _ [E] _ _ _ [Am] _
[F] roll, _ [E] roll out your old-time hat,
[Am] _ there's [E] twelve men [Am] going to that [D] thing, _ [Am] and _ eleven coming back.
[E] _ _ [Am] _
Now that [E] I told [Am] my story, [E] _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [F] I'll take another [E] shot of booze,
_ [A] and if [E] anybody happens [Am] to ask you, [D] _ _ [A] I've got [E] those [Am] damn [A] blues [E] blues. _
[Am] Let her [E] go, let her go, [Am] God bless her, [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [F] wherever she may [E] _ be.
_ _ [A] She may search [E] this [A] wide world over, [D] _ _
[A] never find [Am] a sweet man like [E] me.
_ [A] Wee dee dee [B] dee dee [C] dee dee [D] dee dee dee, [A] bye [E]-bye, [Am] dee dee dee dee dee dee. _ _ _
Thank you.
