Down on the corner by the square

They were serving drinks as usual
        C     E         Am
Oh, the usual crowd was there
       Am     Dm        Am
In the corner sat Big Joe McKenzie
Am       Dm              C  E
His eyes were blood shot red
 Am        Dm       Am

Am                  Dm           
Put a twenty dollar gold piece on
    Am

Am           Dm               C 
Thirteen men go down to that old

 graveyard
Am                          
There's only twelve of them men 
Dm         Am
