{c:verse 1}
I was [Em]down at [B7]Old Joe's [Em]bar room,
At the corner [C6]of the [B7]square
The [Em]usual [B7]crowd was as-[Em]sembled
and [C6]Big Joe Mc-[B7]Kinney was [Em]there.
{c:verse 2}
On my [Em]left stood [B7]Big Joe Mc-[Em]Kinney,
and his eyes were [C6]bloodshot [B7]red
And he [Em]turned his [B7]face to the [Em]people,
these [C6]were the very [B7]words he [Em]said:
{c:verse 3}
I was [Em]down to [B7]St. James in-[Em]firmary,
I saw my [C6]baby [B7]there
She was [Em]stretched out on a [B7]long white [Em]table,
So [C6]sweet, [B7]cool and so [Em]fair
{soc}
Let her [Em]go, let her [B7]go, God [Em]bless her
Wherever [C6]she may [B7]be
She may [Em]search this [B7]whole wide world [Em]over
Never [C6]find a [B7]sweeter man as [Em]me
{eoc}
{c:verse 4}
[Em]When I [B7]die please [Em]bury me
In my high top [C6]Stetson [B7]hat
Put a [Em]twenty dollar [B7]gold piece on my [Em]watch chain
The [C6]gang'll know I [B7]died standing [Em]pat
{soc}
Let her [Em]go, let her [B7]go, God [Em]bless her
Wherever [C6]she may [B7]be
She may [Em]search this [B7]whole wide world [Em]over
Never [C6]find a [B7]sweeter man as [Em]me
{eoc}
{c:verse 5}
I want [Em]six crap-[B7]shooters to be my [Em]pallbearers
Three pretty women to [C6]sing a [B7]song
Stick a [Em]jazz band [B7]on my hearse [Em]wagon
Raise [C6]hell as I [B7]stroll a-[Em]long
{soc}
Let her [Em]go, let her [B7]go, God [Em]bless her
Wherever [C6]she may [B7]be
She may [Em]search this [B7]whole wide world [Em]over
Never [C6]find a [B7]sweeter man as [Em]me
{eoc}
