Verse 1:
        G              Em               C            D
Oh, the cuckoo she's a pretty bird, she sings as she flies
    G          Em                C              D
She never gets lonesome 'til the first day of July

Verse 2:
     G          Em                C               D
I've gambled in England, and I've gambled down in Spain
  G                 Em             C               D
I gambled with five aces, now I've gambled my last game

Oh, it's gamblin' that's brought me prison, and it's gamblin' that's brought me pain
     G             Em        C              D
I'll never see the cuckoo or hear her song again

Jack o' diamonds, Jack o' diamonds, I know you of old
    G              Em        C             D
You robbed my poor pocket of silver and of gold

    G          Em                C              D   G
She never gets lonesome 'til the first day of July
