Verse 1
(D major) Howdy (G major) friends this is Johnny Bond.
When I was a kid one time
(D major) I was digging (G major) around in our attic
and I stumbled across an
old (D major) dime novel
(G major) entitled Ten Nights in a Barroom.
Now I never (D major) got a chance to read that book
but many's the time
that (G major) I've imagined what it was like.
Shall we (C major) daydream (D major) together?
Here's an old (G major) frontier town,
there's the saloon,
(D major) the doors swing (C major) open and
inside we (G major) hear,
there is a tavern in the town,
in the town,
and there my true love (D major) sits and down,
sits and down,
and drink (G major) s his wine as (C major) merry as can be,
and (D major) never, never thinks of (G major) me.
Fare thee (D major) well, for I must leave you,
do not (G major) let the parting grieve you,
and remem (D major) ber that the very
best of (G major) friends (C major) must (G major) part.
Adieu, adieu, kind friends, adieu, yes, adieu,
I can no longer stay with (D major) you,
stay with you, ho, ho,
I'll (G major) hang my heart on a (C major) weeping little tree,
and (D major) may the world go well with (G major) thee.
Now that we're inside the saloon,
let's meet the bartender.
His name is Bottle in Bond,
the bash (D major) ful, brow -beaten,
(G major) brainwashed, birdbrain bartender,
(C major) and here he is.
The bar is (D major) open.
Ah, here comes my (G major) first drunk,
I mean customer.
How do you do, (D major) sir?
What'll you have?
Oh, (G major) wouldn't you like to know? (D major)
You don't like me, (G major) do you?
I believe that you are undoubtedly the ugliest man
I ever saw in my life. Ah, you're drunk.
Yeah, (D major) but tomorrow I'll be (G major) sober. (C major)
(G major) Stick (C major) s and (D major) stones.
Look, do you want a drink or don't you?
You (G major) talked me into it.
I'll have a martini,
but you gotta make it my way.
And just what is your way?
I'm gonna tell (D major) you.
You take two gallon (G major) s of gin.
Two gallons of gin (C major) it is.
One tenth of a drop (D major) of vermouth.
Light on (G major) the vermouth.
No ice.
Luke (D major) warm. No olive.
(G major) No olive, oh no.
Now, (D major) that's some mar (G major) tini.
(C major) Would you like me to rub a (G major) little bit of lemon
peel around the edge of the glass?
Look, Buster, if I wanted a lemonade,
I'd ask for it.
Ha ha (D major) ha! (G major)
Dig my grave both wide and deep,
wide and deep
Place tombstones at my head and (D major) feet,
head and feet
Ho ho and (G major) on my chest
Just (C major) carve a turtle dove
To (D major) signify I died for (G major) love
Fare thee (D major) well for I must leave thee
Do not (G major) let the parting grieve thee
And remem (D major) ber that the very
best of (G major) friends (C major) must (G major) part
Adieu, adieu, kind friends, adieu, yes, adieu
I can no longer stay with (D major) you, stay with you
Ho, ho, I'll (G major) hang my heart
on (C major) a weeping rose tree
Fare (D major) thee well, fare thee well, fare thee well (G major)
