verse 1

G+G         D MajorD
Here's a song for Cousin Joe
  G+G          C majorC
We saw him come and we saw him go
  G+G          D MajorD
And that's about all you need to know
     G+G     D MajorD     G+G  D MajorD
'Cause he never done nothing at all

verse 2

  G+G        D MajorD
He never wined, he never dined
  G+G          C majorC
He never loved, and he never pined
  G+G        D MajorD
And all he said was "Never mind
 G+G     D MajorD     G+G
I never done nothing at all"

C majorC   G+G
Cousin Joe, he was there
D MajorD     G+G
Happy as a millionaire
C majorC     G+G
How I wish I could share
  A augmentedA       D MajorD
The secret of his savoir faire


verse 3

  G+G        D MajorD
He never served, he never fought
  G+G          C majorC
He wasn't dumb, but he wasn't taught
  G+G           D MajorD
He wasn't shunned, but he wasn't sought
     G+G     D MajorD     G+G  D MajorD
'Cause he never done nothing at all

C majorC   G+G
Cousin Joe, he was there
D MajorD     G+G
Happy as a millionaire
C majorC     G+G
How I wish I could share
  A augmentedA       D MajorD
The secret of his savoir faire


verse 4

  G+G         D MajorD
And when they laid his bones to rest
   G+G          C majorC
They asked his friend who knew him best
  G+G         D MajorD
And on that stone the mason dressed
     G+G     D MajorD     G+G    E7E7
Was, "He never done nothing at all, in style
  G+G     D MajorD     G+G    E7E7
He never done nothing at all, but while
  G+G     D MajorD     G+G     E7E7
He never done nothing at all, he'd smile
     E MajorE     D MajorD     G+G
'Cause he never done nothing at all"
