Verse 1
(C major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (C sharp major) (D major) (C major) It was (A major) a
(A flat major) stormy (D major) Monday (G major) morning,
and the church was very bare.
(D major) The (G major) roof was really leaking,
and the (D major) rain was everywhere.
(A flat major) (G major) The whole congregation
stayed (C major) at (G major) home,
so poor Deacon Jones was (A major) there (D major) alone.
He was (G major) laid out in a coffin,
a (C major) coffin dressed in red,
where (D major) just the (E minor) night before
they pro (D major) nounced the deacon (G major) dead (C major)
(G major) There was a little old lady
sittin' in the church,
sittin' in the (A major) church a -moanin' (D major) low
That (G major) same little lady
who was (E minor) sittin' (C major) in the church
Shook (G major) up, shook her head,
shook her (D major) hips,
and then she said
(G major) Fare thee well,
Deacon Jones (D major) has passed (G major) away
Fare thee well,
(D major) Deacon Jones has passed away
He (G major) was my old master here,
(F major) and (C major) he sure could shift his gears
Fare thee well, (A major) Deacon (D major) Jones,
fare thee well (G major) (E minor) (G major) (E minor)
(A major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (E minor)
(G major) The storm had kept on raising,
the rain had poured down fast
It even flooded the coffin
where we saw (A major) the deacon last
(D major) The coffin (G major) began to rot,
the sister ran to hide
I jumped behind the bench
an (E minor) d this is what (D major) I spied
(G major) Old Jones began to writhe,
Jones had bloodshot eyes
He drank a cup of red
and (A major) shouted this (D major) refrain
Well you're (G major) going to hell
all you sinners,
you're going to (E minor) hell
Fare (C major) (G major) thee well all (E minor) you sinners,
fare thee well (E flat major)
Well, (D major) (G major) you know I didn't sit or dine,
(F major) I (G major) was (C major) just layin' here occupied
You're (E flat major) (D major) to hell, all you sin (E minor) ners,
cause you lied (G major)
Cause I'm the greatest deacon,
the best you've ever seen
Y (D major) 'all (G major) hate old (A flat major) Deacon Jones,
cause (G major) all my (E flat major) chicks are in their teens
(D major) I'm (A flat major) the greatest jockey,
(D major) and I love (G major) to ride the best
I (G major) don't want no hockey,
now how about that mess? (G major) (D major) (G major) (F major) (C major)
Verse 2
Fare (Edim) thee well, (G major) all you sinners,
fare thee well (C major)
(G major) thee (D major) (G major)
