[Opening]
[G] [D] [A] [D]
Well [D]Jimmy played harmonica in the [G]pub where I was [D]born
He [D]played it from the night-time to the [G]peaceful early [A]morn
He [G]soothed souls of psychos and the [D]men who had the [A]horn
And they all [D]looked very [G]happy in the [A]morning [D]
[verse 2]
But [D]Jimmy didn’t like his place [G]in this world of [D]ours
Where the [D]elephant man broke strong men’s necks when [G]he’d had too many [A]powers
So [G]sad to see the grieving of the [D]people he was [A]leaving
And he [D]took the road for god [G]knows in the [A]morning [D]
[chorus]
We [D]walked him to the [G]station in the [D]rain
We [D]kissed him as we [G]put him on the [A]train
And we [G]sang him a [D]song of times long [G]gone
Though we [D]knew that we’d be [A]seeing him [D]again [A]
[D]Sad to say I must be on my way
So, [G]buy me beer and [D]whiskey ’cause I’m [A]going far away
I’d [D]like to think I’ll be returning when I can
To the [G]greatest little [D]boozer and to [A]Sally [D]McLennane
[verse 3]
The [D]years passed by the times had changed I [G]grew to be a [D]man
I [D]learned to love the virtues of sweet [G]Sally [A]McLennane
I [G]took the jeers and drank the beers and I [D]crawled back home at [A]dawn
And [D]ended up a [G]barman in the [A]morning [D]
[verse 4]
I [D]played the pump and took the hump and [G]watered whiskey [D]down
I [D]talked of whores and horses to the [G]men who drank the [A]brown
I [G]heard them say that Jimmy’s making [D]money far [A]away
Some [D]people left for [G]heaven without [A]warning [D]
[chorus]
We [D]walked him to the [G]station in the [D]rain
We [D]kissed him as we [G]put him on the [A]train
And we [G]sang him a [D]song of times long [G]gone
Though we [D]knew that we’d be [A]seeing him [D]again [A]
[D]Sad to say I must be on my way
So, [G]buy me beer and [D]whiskey ’cause I’m [A]going far away
I’d [D]like to think I’ll be returning when I can
To the [G]greatest little [D]boozer and to [A]Sally [D]McLennane
[Closing]
[G] [D] [A] [D]
When [D]Jimmy came back home he was [G]surprised that they were [D]gone
He [D]asked me all the details of the [G]train that they went [A]on
Some [G]people they are scared to croak but [D]Jimmy drank [A]until he choked
And [D]took the road for [G]heaven in the [A]morning [D]
[chorus]
We [D]walked him to the [G]station in the [D]rain
We [D]kissed him as we [G]put him on the [A]train
And we [G]sang him a [D]song of times long [G]gone
Though we [D]knew that we’d be [A]seeing him [D]again [A]
[D]Sad to say I must be on my way
So, [G]buy me beer and [D]whiskey ’cause I’m [A]going far away
I’d [D]like to think I’ll be returning when I can
To the [G]greatest little [D]boozer and to [A]Sally [D]McLennane
