[C] [G] [C] [G]
[C] Jim, [G] Jim, [F] I wore a tie [C] today, [F] the first one that I ever [G] wore.
[C] You have said [F] that I look like a dummy out [D] of a dry goods [G] store.
[Dm] [G]
Oh, [C] Jim, [G] Jim, the preacher [F] said a lot [C] of things, [F] but I didn't hear a word [G] he said.
[A]
[Dm] [C] My mind kept wandering [F] back down the train, [C] back to [G] the good [C] times we had.
[G] Riding her [C] through the sun and [Am] the [C] rain, [G] panning for gold [C] on the cuff.
[Am]
[C] [G] We [Em] did [G] everything [C] in the books, [Am] I guess, [Em] [D] and a lot that they never [G] thought of.
Oh, [C] Jim, [G] Jim, [F] so you're riding [C] on ahead.
[F] Well, if that's how it's going [G] to be.
[Dm] [C] When you reach [F] those streets paved with gold, [C] Jim, [G] stake a claim out [C] for me.
[G]
[C] [G] We did everything we could [F] do for you, Jim, but [C] your fever just wouldn't go [F] down.
So we put you in the wagon, [G] Jim, and this morning we got you back [Dm] to town.
[C] Well, when we got here, you were gone, Jim, and there wasn't anything [F] anybody could do.
[C] They dressed you up in a fancy [G] suit and a necktie, and so [C] today we wore one [G] too.
[Am] [G] [Em] Riding [G] her [C] through the sun and [Am] the rain, [C] [G] panning for gold [C] on the cuff.
[G] We did everything [C] in the books, I [Am]
guess, [D] and a lot that they never [G] thought of.
[C]
[G] Oh, [C] Jim, [G] Jim, [F] so you're riding [C] on ahead.
[F] Well, if that's how it's [Dm] going [G] to be.
[C] When you reach [F] those streets paved with gold, [C] Jim, [G] stake a claim out for [C] me.
