Pore Jud Is Daid (From "Oklahoma!" 2019 Broadway Cast Recording / Audio) Chords

[E] Poor Judd is dead, _ [Gm] poor [G#] Judd Frye is dead.
[C#m] All gather [F#] round his coffin now and [B] cry.
_ _ [B] _
_ _ [E] He had a heart of gold, [F#m] and he wasn't very [A#] _ old.
[B] Oh, why did such [D#m] a feller [E] have to die?
_ _ _ _ _ Poor Judd is dead, poor [G] [G#] Judd Frye is dead.
[C#]
He's looking oh [F#] so peaceful [B] and serene. _
_ [E] He's all [G#] laid out to rest [C] with his [A] hands [C#] across his chest.
[F] His fingernails [F#] have never been [E] so clean. _ _
And then the preacher would [Am] get up and he'd say,
Folks, we are gathered here to moan and groan over our brother [F] Judd Frye,
Who hung himself up by a rope in the [C] smokehouse.
And then weeping and wailing from some of them women, [G] he'd say,
Judd was the most misunderstood man in the [E] territory,
[B] And people used to think he's a mean, ugly feller,
And they called him a dirty skunk and an ornery pig [F]-stealer. _
_ _ _ _ But the folks that really knowed him,
Know [A#] that beneath them two dirty shirts he always wore,
_ [C] There beat a heart as big as [F] all outdoors.
[C] As big as all [F] outdoors.
[C] Judd Frye loved his fellow [F] _ [C] man.
He loved his [F] fellow.
_ _ He [G#] loved the birds of the forest [C#] and the beasts of the field.
[F#] He loved the mice [D#m] and vermin in the barn.
[A#m] [G#m] And he treated the [A#m] rats [B] like [C#] equals.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [E] And he loved [F#] little children.
[A#]
[F#m] He loved everybody and everything in the world.
[E] Only he never let on, so nobody ever noticed. _ _
_ Poor Judd is dead.
Poor [G#] Judd Frye is dead.
[C#m] His friends all weep [F#] and wail for [B] miles around.
_ _ [E] The daisies and the dell [G] will [A] give out a [A#m] different smell,
[F] Because poor [B] Judd is underneath [E] the ground.
_ _ Poor Judd is dead.
A [G#] candle lights his head.
[C#] He's [C#m] laying in [F#] a coffin [B] made of wood.
[E] And the folks are [G#] feeling sad,
[A] Because they used to [A#m] treat him bad.
[B] And now they know their friend is gone [E] for good.
_ _ Poor Judd is dead.
[Gm] A [G#] candle lights his _ head. _ _
[C#m] Looking [F#] oh so pretty [B] and so nice. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] He looks like [G#] Jesus.
_ _ It's a [A] shame that he [A#] won't keep.
[F] But it's summer.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
Poor _ _ _ [C#m] _ [E] _ Judd.
