       Am      E7      Am
It was down at old Joe's bar room
        Am         Fmaj7  C       E7
At the corner      by the square
          Am      E7       Am    
They were serving drinks as usual
   Am/G

        Fmaj7         E7      
And the usual         crowd was 
     Am
there
      Am         E7         Am
On my left stood big Joe MacKennedy
    Am         Fmaj7        C    
His eyes were bloodshot     red
   E7

           Am           E7         
And as he looked at the gang around
Am    Am/G
 him
      Fmaj7         E7         Am
These were the very words he said.
       Am      E7        Am
I went down to St. James Infirmary

     I saw my baby          there
          Am       E7          Am
Stretched out on a long, white 
    Am/G
table
   Fmaj7        E7      Am
So young, so   cold, so fair
Am             E7         Am
     Seventeen coal-black horses
Am           Fmaj7       C    E7
Hitched to a rubber-tied hack
 Am         E7           Am       
Seven girls goin' to the graveyard
Am/G

     Fmaj7           E7     Am
Only six of them are coming back
        Am          E7          
Let her go. Let her go, God bless 
   Am
her
Am          Fmaj7       C       E7
   Wherever she may     be
         Am        E7          Am
She may search this wide world 
         Am/G
over
          Fmaj7        E7       Am
And never find another man like me


Am       E7          Am
  When I die just bury me
Am      Fmaj7            C    E7
  In my high-top Stetson hat
        Am            E7          
Place a twenty-dollar gold piece 
     Am        Am/G
on my watch chain
           Fmaj7       E7         
To let the Lord know I died 
   Am
standing pat
       Am                E7   
I want six crap-shooters for my 
   Am
pallbearers
  Am             Fmaj7       C    
A Chorus girl to sing me a   song
 E7

        Am           E7        Am
Place a jazz band on my hearse 
    Am/G
wagon
   Fmaj7            E7        Am
To raise hell as we roll along
Am               E7       Am
 Now that you've heard my story
Am                  Fmaj7         
  I'll take another shot of       
C    E7
booze
Am              E7       Am      
  And if anyone here should ask 
 Am/G
you
Fmaj7          E7        Am
  I've got the gambler's blues
