_ _ He was down [F#] in old [Bm] Joe's bar room at the corner [G] by the [D] square.
[F#] _
_ [B] _ The drinks were [Bm] served as usual _ and [B] the usual crowd was [Bm] there.
Now on my left stood big Joe McKinney. _
_ His eyes [G] were bloodshot [D] red [F#]
and [B] as he looked at the gang around [Bm] him,
these were the very [F#] words [Bm] he said. _
I went down to [F#] the St.
[Bm] James Infirmary. _
_ I [G] saw my [A] baby [F#] there _ [Bm] stretched out on a [F#] long [Bm] white table.
[F#] _
[Bm] So young, [F#] so cold, [Bm] so fair.
_ _ [F#] Seventeen coal [Bm] black horses _ hitched [G] to a rubber [A]-tied [D] hat.
[F#] _
_ [Bm] Seven girls going to the graveyard. _
Only six [F#] of them are coming [Bm] back.
Well let her go, [F#] let her go, [Bm] God bless her. _
_ _ [G] Wherever she [A] may [D] be, [F#] _
[Bm] she may search this wide world over
and [G] never find [F#] another man [Bm] like me. _

_ Now when [F#] I die, [Bm] just bury me in my [G] high-top [A] Stetson [D] hat.
[F#] _
[A#m] [B] Place a twenty dollar [F#] gold piece on [Bm] my watch chain
[F#m] to let [G] the Lord know [F#] I died standing [Bm] by.
[B]
I want six [F#] crapshooters for my [Bm] pallbearers, _
_ a [G] chorus girl to sing [D] me a song.
[F#] _
[Bm] Place a jazz [F#] band on [Bm] my hearse wheel _
[A] [G] just to raise hell as we [F#] roll _ [Bm] along.
_ _ _ [F#] But now that [Bm] you've heard my story,
_ _ _ [G] I'll take another shot [D] of booze.
[F#] _ _ [B] And if anyone here should [Bm] ask you,
_ _ [G] _ _ I've [F#] got the _ gambler's [Bm] _ blues. _ _ _
