Well, (D major) Jimmy played harmonica

And they (D major) all looked very (G major) happy

Verse 2
But (D major) Jimmy didn't like his place
(G major) in this world of (D major) ours
Where the elephant man
broke strong men's necks
when he'd (G major) had too many (A major) pours
So (G major) sad to see the grieving
and the (D major) people that I'm (A major) leaving
And he (D major) took the road for (G major) god knows
in the (A major) morn (D major) ing
Pre-chorus 1
We (D major) walked him to the (G major) station in the (D major) rain
We kissed him as we (G major) put him on the (A major) train

Though we (D major) knew
that we'd be (A major) seeing him a (D major) gain (A major)
Chorus 1
I'm (D major) sad to say I must be on me way
So (G major) buy me beer and (D major) whiskey

To the (G major) greatest little (D major) boozer
and to (A major) Sally Maclen (D major) nan
Verse 3
The (D major) years went by, the times had changed
I (G major) grew to be a man (D major)
I learned to love the virtues
of sweet (G major) Sally Maclen (A major) nan

and (D major) crawled back home at (A major) dawn
And (D major) ended up a (G major) barman in the (A major) morn (D major) ing
Verse 4
I (D major) played the pump and took the hump
and (G major) watered whiskey (D major) down
I talked of whores and horses
to the (G major) men who drank the (A major) brown
I (G major) heard them say
that Jimmy's making (D major) money far a (A major) way
And some (D major) people left for (G major) heaven
without (A major) warn (D major) ing
Pre-chorus 2

Though we (D major) knew
that we'd be (A major) seeing him a (D major) gain (A major)
Chorus 2

Verse 5
When (D major) Jimmy came back home
he was sur (G major) prised that they were (D major) gone
He asked me all the details
of the (G major) train that they went (A major) on
Some (G major) people they are scared to croak

(D major) Took the road for (G major) heaven in the (A major) morn (D major) ing
