Verse 1:
    D MajorD       G+G               D MajorD
Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
   D MajorD          G+G               A augmentedA
He played it from the night-time to the peaceful early morn
   G+G               D MajorD        A augmentedA
He soothed souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
     D MajorD         G+G      A augmentedA  D MajorD
and they all looked very happy in the morning

   D MajorD               G+G        D MajorD
Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
   D MajorD                  G+G       A augmentedA
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many powers
   G+G               D MajorD        A augmentedA
So sad to see the grieving of the people he was leaving
     D MajorD        G+G      A augmentedA  D MajorD
And he took the road from nowhere in the morning

Chorus:
   D MajorD         G+G       D MajorD
We walked him to the station in the rain
   D MajorD        G+G       A augmentedA
We kissed him as we put him on the train
    G+G      D MajorD         G+G
And we sang him a song of times long gone
      D MajorD        A augmentedA      D MajorD  A augmentedA
though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
 D MajorD
Sad to say I must be on my way
   G+G        D MajorD         A augmentedA
so buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
   D MajorD
I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
      G+G       D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD
to the greatest little boozer and to Sally McLennane

Verse 2:
   D MajorD               G+G        D MajorD
The years passed by the times had changed Igrew to be a man
   D MajorD                  G+G       A augmentedA
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally McLennane
   G+G               D MajorD        A augmentedA
I took the jeers and drank the beers and I crawled back home at dawn
     D MajorD        G+G      A augmentedA  D MajorD
And ended up a barman in the morning

   D MajorD               G+G        D MajorD
I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
   D MajorD                  G+G       A augmentedA
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
   G+G               D MajorD        A augmentedA
I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
     D MajorD        G+G      A augmentedA  D MajorD
Some people left for heaven without warning

Chorus:
   D MajorD         G+G       D MajorD
We walked him to the station in the rain
   D MajorD        G+G       A augmentedA
We kissed him as we put him on the train
    G+G      D MajorD         G+G
And we sang him a song of times long gone
      D MajorD        A augmentedA      D MajorD  A augmentedA
though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
 D MajorD
Sad to say I must be on my way
   G+G        D MajorD         A augmentedA
so buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
   D MajorD
I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
      G+G       D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD
to the greatest little boozer and to Sally McLennane

Verse 3:
   D MajorD               G+G        D MajorD
When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they where gone
   D MajorD                  G+G       A augmentedA
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
   G+G               D MajorD        A augmentedA
Some people they arescared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
     D MajorD        G+G      A augmentedA  D MajorD
And took the road for heaven in the morning\f
