Chords with lyrics

C majorC
Jimmy was a regular at the local drinking bar

FF          G7G7
He worked like everybody else and ways were mean and hard

 C majorC                      FF
I met him as a little boy and I liked him as I grew

         G7G7               C majorC
Jimmy's life was tough and seemed like everybody knew


                 FF
That Jimmy was a drinking kind of man

  G7G7               C majorC
He loved to hear a good hillbilly band

                   FF
The scar across his face was Jimmy's brand

   G7G7              C majorC
Cause Jimmy was a drinking kind of man

We got to be together 'fore the good Lord tucked him in

  FF       G7G7
He said I'm never coming back to this old town again

   C majorC                       FF
Said no one understands me folks don't even want me home

          G7G7              C majorC
He took a drink of wine and said its hell to be alone


                 FF
That Jimmy was a drinking kind of man

The scar across his face was Jimmy's brand

   G7G7              C majorC
Cause Jimmy was a drinking kind of man

I finally got to see ole Jim after being gone so long

    FF       G7G7
By the crowd of cars around his house


I could tell there was something wrong

 C majorC                        FF
I arrived in time to find him in a pine box on the floor

           G7G7                  C majorC
His momma's eyes were filled with tears as I stepped in the door


                  FF
That Jimmy was a drinking kind of man

  G7G7               C majorC
He loved to hear a good hillbilly band

                   FF
The scar across his face was Jimmy's brand
