Chords for Arlo Guthrie - St. James Infirmary - Dunegrass 2008

This is some money for some of the musicians down in New Orleans that lost [F] everything during the [E] Katrina disaster.
[F#] _ _
[D#] And uh, _ took about 30 friends as well as the family.
[Bm] _ And we raised a bunch of money and some [F#] instruments and brought [D#] them all down there.
And on that tour, I thought it'd be a good idea to do at least one song that actually came from New Orleans.
[F#] _ _ I knew two of [Bm] them.
_ This is one of them.
Just an old one.
_ _ Woo!
_ _ [F#] _ _
[Bm] A _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[F#] _ little [B] more guitar for me.
[Bm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It was down [F#] in old Joe's [Bm] bar room
_ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] At the corner [G]
of [D] 5th and Square
_ _ [F#] _ _ _
[Bm] _ The [F#] drinks was served [Bm] as usual
_ [A] _ _ _ [G] _ [F#] And the usual crowd was there _
Now on my left stood big Joe [Bm] McKinney
_ _ [F#] His _ [B] _ _
[G] eyes were [D] bloodshot _ red
[F#] _
And [Bm] as he [F#] looked at the gang [Bm] around him
_ _ [C#] _ These [G] were the [F#] very words he said
_ _ I [B] went _ down to [F#] the St.
[Bm] James _ infirmary
[F#] _ _
_ [Bm] _ I [G] saw my baby [D] _
there
[F#] _ _ _ _ [Bm] Stretched out on [F#] a long [Bm] white table _ _
[A] _ So [G] young, so [F#] _
cold, [Bm] so fat _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] 17 coal [Bm] black horses
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ Hitched to [G] a rubber _ [D] tied hat
_ [F#] _ _
_ [B] _ 7 [F#] girls going to [Bm] the graveyard
_ _ _ _ Only 6 [F#] of them are coming [Bm] _ _ back
_ Well let her go, [F#] let her go, [Bm] God bless her _ _ _ _
_ [G] Wherever she may [D] _
be
[F#] _ _ [Bm] She may search this [F#] _ [Bm] wide world over
_ [A] _
And [G] never find another [F#] man [Bm] like _ _ [C#] me
[A] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now when [F#] I die [Bm] just bury [F#] me
_ In _
[Bm] my [G] high top Stetson [D] hat
_ [F#] _ _ [Bm] Place a 20 [F#] dollar gold piece on [Bm] my watch jeans
To [G] let the Lord know I [F#] danced and [Bm] didn't pass
[F#] _ _ I want 6 craft shooters for my [Bm] pallbearers
_ [F#] _ _
_ A [Bm] chorus girl [G] to sing me [D] a song
_ [F#] _ _ _ [Bm] Place a jazz [F#] band on my [Bm] horse wagon
[F#] _ Just [G] to raise hell [F#] as we _ [Bm] roll along _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] But now that you've [Bm] heard my story
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[G] I'll take another [D] shot of [F#] booze _
_ [Bm] _ And if [F#] anyone here [Bm] should ask you
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
I've [F#] got the [Bm] gambler's blues
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
