Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
Eb  E  Am

Verse 1:
Am          E            Am        D
I went down to old Joe's barroom
D       F            E       Am
On the corner, by the stairs
Am          E          Am
Drinks were served as usual
Am      F  E              Am
And the usual crowd was there
Am               E     Am       D
On my left stood Joe McKennedy
D            F          E
His eyes were bloodshot red
E      Am        E              Am
And he turned to face the crowd around him
Am    F             E        Am
These are the very words he said:

Chorus:
Am            E            Am
"I went down to St. James infirmary
Am  D     F       E
Saw my baby lying there
E        Am        E          Am
Stretched out on a long white table
Am F        E        Am
So cold, so deep, so fair
Am                  E        Am         D
Let her go, let her go, Lord bless her
D   F             E
Wherever she may be
E           Am               E     Am
And I can search this whole world right over
Am    F                   E        Am
You'll never find a sweet man like me"
instrumental:
Am  E Am  F
E  Am

Verse 2:
Am           E        Am     D
When I die, please bury me
D  F             E
Outside of Stetson hat
E     Am         E     Am
Put a gold piece on my watch chain
Am      F                E                 Am
So the boys will know that I died standing fair
Am                  E        Am
I want six gamblers to be my pallbearers
  D                     F           E
I want a working girl to sing me a song
E        Am        E            Am
I want a jazz band on my hearse wagon
Am       F      E         Am
To raise hell as we roll along
Am        E               Am    D
Now that you've heard my story
D                 F           E
I'll take another shot of the booze
E      Am    E        Am
And if anybody should ask me
Am        F               E     Am
Tell'em I got me those gamblin' dues
Am        F            E       Am
Tell'em I got me those gamblin' dues
Am        F           E         Am
Tell'em I got me those gamblin' dues
