Intro: G   D   G   C   G   D   G D G D

verse 1

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

verse 2

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

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


verse 3

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


G   D   G   C
G   D   G D G

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


verse 4

    G                  D
And when they laid his bones to rest
     G                    C
They asked his friend who knew him best
    G                 D
And on that stone the mason dressed
         G          D          G       E7
Was, "He never done nothing at all, in style
   G          D          G        E7
He never done nothing at all, but while
   G          D          G         E7
He never done nothing at all, he'd smile
          E          D          G
'Cause he never done nothing at all"
