[G]
[Dm] She was lying on a long wooden table, _ [Bb] so cold, [A] so stiff, [Dm] so [D] fair.
[Dm] I went up to see the doctor.
[Db] _ [Dm] _ _ [Gm] She's very [C]

_ _ _ _ I went down to Old Joe's [E] Ballroom [D] _ _ [Dm] on the corner [A] of the square.
_ _ _ [Gb] They [Dm] were serving drinks as usual, [Bb] and the [A] usual [D] crowd was [Gm] there.
[F] To my [E] left stood Old [Eb] Joe McKennedy.
[D] _ [E] His eyes were [Gm] bloodshot [A] red.
[Dm] He turned to the crowd around him, [Bb] and [A] these are the [Dm] words he said,
Let her go, let her go, God bless her. _
Wherever she may [A] be, [Dm] she could search this whole wide world over,
[Bb] but she'll [Dm] never find another [A] man [Dm] like me.
[D] [Bb] She could search this whole [Dm] wide world over,
[Bb] but she'll never find another [A] man _ _ like _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ me.
_ _ _ _ _ When _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] I die, please Lord, bury me [Dm] in my ten dollar slips and [A] hair,
[Dm] put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain,
[Bb] so my friends [A] will know I died [Dm] a standing pair.
Get [D] six gamblers to carry my [Dm] coffin,
_ and six choir [G] girls [C] to sing [F] me _ [A] songs.
I'll have [Dm] a stick of jasmine on my horse wagon,
[Bb] to raise hell [A] as I [D] go along. _ _ _ _
